Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.
16 : 35
Option 1: 14 : 35
Option 2: 54 : 96
Option 3: 43 : 67
Option 4: 19 : 93
Correct Answer: 43 : 67
Solution :
Given:
16 : 35
Multiply the digits of the second number then add 1 to obtain the first number in the given set of numbers –
⇒ (16 : 35)→(3 × 5) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
Let's check the options –
First option:
(14 : 35)→(3 × 5) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16 ≠ 14
Second option:
(54 : 96)→(9 × 6) + 1 = 54 + 1 = 55 ≠ 54
Third option:
(43 : 67)→(6 × 7) + 1 = 42 + 1 = 43
Fourth option:
(19 : 93)→(9 × 3) + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28 ≠ 19
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
