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. 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.)
(6, 12, 228)
(8, 3, 515)
Option 1: (3, 28, 56)
Option 2: (13, 11, 172)
Option 3: (4, 18, 82)
Option 4: (9, 23, 119)
Correct Answer: (4, 18, 82)
Solution :
Given:
(6, 12, 228); (8, 3, 515)
Here, (6, 12, 228)→(6)
3
+ 12 = 216 + 12 = 228
(8, 3, 515)→(8)
3
+ 3 = 512 + 3 = 515
Let's check the options –
First option:
(3, 28, 56)→(3)
3
+ 28 = 27 + 28 = 55 ≠ 56
Second option:
(13, 11, 172)→ (13)
3
+ 11 = 2197 + 11 = 2208 ≠ 172
Third option:
(4, 18, 82)→(4)
3
+ 18 = 64 + 18 = 82
Fourth option:
(9, 23, 119)→(9)
3
+ 23 = 729 + 23 = 752 ≠ 119
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
