Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets.
(99, 199, 1199)
(15, 115, 1115)
(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.)
Option 1: (11, 111, 1000)
Option 2: (33, 133, 1133)
Option 3: (22, 222, 2222)
Option 4: (77, 717, 7117)
Correct Answer: (33, 133, 1133)
Solution :
Given:
(99,199,1199); (15,115,1115)
Here, (99, 199, 1199)→99 + (10)
2
= 199; 199 + (10)
3
= 1199
(15, 115, 1115)→15 + (10)
2
= 115; 115 + (10)
3
= 1115
Let's check each option –
First option:
(11, 111, 1000)→11 + (10)
2
= 111; 111 + (10)
3
= 1111 ≠ 1000
Second option:
(33, 133, 1133)→33 + (10)
2
= 133; 133 + (10)
3
= 1133
Third option:
(22, 222, 2222)→22 + (10)
2
= 122 ≠ 222; 122 + (10)
3
= 1122 ≠ 2222
Fourth option:
(77, 717, 7117)→77 + (10)
2
= 177 ≠ 717; 177 + (10)
3
= 1177 ≠ 7117
So, only the second option follows the pattern followed by the set given in the question. Hence, the second option is correct.
