Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Correct Answer: (37, 74, 296)
Solution :
Given:
(32, 64, 256); (18, 36, 144)
Here, the pattern followed is as follows –
Like, (32, 64, 256)→32 × 2 = 64; 64 × 4 = 256
And, (18, 36, 144)→18 × 2 = 36; 36 × 4 = 144
Let's check each option –
First option:
(37, 74, 296)→37 × 2 = 74; 74 × 4 = 296
Second option:
(26, 52, 313)→26 × 2 = 52; 52 × 4 = 208 ≠ 313
Third option:
(41, 82, 164)→41 × 2 = 82; 82 × 4 = 328 ≠ 164
Fourth option:
(24, 72, 287)→24 × 2 = 48; 48 × 4 = 192 ≠ 287
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
