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. 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.)
(39, 81, 123)
(56, 32, 8)
Option 1: (61, 57, 53)
Option 2: (42, 33, 15)
Option 3: (97, 63, 38)
Option 4: (24, 35, 31)
Correct Answer: (61, 57, 53)
Solution :
Given:
(39, 81, 123); (56, 32, 8)
Here, (39, 81, 123)→123 – 81 = 42; 81 – 39 = 42
(56, 32, 8)→56 – 32 = 24; 32 – 8 = 24
Let's check the options –
First option:
(61, 57, 53)→61 – 57 = 4; 57 – 53 = 4
Second option:
(42, 33, 15)→42 – 33 = 9; 33 – 15 = 18
Third option:
(97, 63, 38)→97 – 63 = 34; 63 – 38 = 25
Fourth option:
(24, 35, 31)→35 – 24 = 11; 35 – 31 = 4
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
