Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets.
(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.)
(3, 16, 6)
(4, 22, 6)
Option 1: (12, 50, 5)
Option 2: (9, 70, 8)
Option 3: (7, 43, 6)
Option 4: (9, 10, 11)
Correct Answer: (9, 70, 8)
Solution :
Given:
(3, 16, 6); (4, 22, 6)
Here the pattern followed is as follows –
⇒ (3, 16, 6)→3 × 6 = 18 and 18 – 2 = 16
⇒ (4, 22, 6)→4 × 6 = 24 and 24 – 2 = 22
Let's check the options –
First option:
(12, 50, 5)→12 × 5 = 60 and 60 – 2 = 58 ≠ 50
Second option:
(9, 70, 8)→9 × 8 = 72 and 72 – 2 = 70
Third option:
(7, 43, 6)→7 × 6 = 42 and 42 – 2 = 40 ≠ 43
Fourth option:
(9, 10, 11)→9 × 11 = 99 and 99 – 2 = 97 ≠ 10
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
