Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.)
(60, 5, 6)
(48, 8, 3)
Option 1: (17, 3, 4)
Option 2: (25, 4, 6)
Option 3: (24, 4, 3)
Option 4: (25, 4, 3)
Correct Answer: (24, 4, 3)
Solution :
Given:
(60, 5, 6); (48, 8, 3)
Divide the first number by the third number, and then divide the resultant by 2 to find the second number.
Like, (60, 5, 6)→60 ÷ 6 = 10; 10 ÷ 2 = 5
And, (48, 8, 3)→48 ÷ 3 = 16; 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Let's check each option –
First option:
(17, 3, 4)→17 ÷ 4 = 4.25; 4.25 ÷ 2 = 2.125 ≠ 3
Second option:
(25, 4, 6)→25 ÷ 6 = 4.17; 4.17 ÷ 2 = 2.08 ≠ 4
Third option:
(24, 4, 3)→24 ÷ 3 = 8; 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Fourth option:
(25, 4, 3)→25 ÷ 3 = 8.33; 8.33 ÷ 2 = 4.16 ≠ 4
So, only the third option follows the pattern followed by the given sets. Hence, the third option is correct.
