Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the number 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.)
(312, 24, 13)
(645, 43, 15)
Option 1: (347, 27, 12)
Option 2: (347, 22, 17)
Option 3: (374, 17, 12)
Option 4: (374, 22, 17)
Correct Answer: (374, 22, 17)
Solution :
Given:
(312, 24, 13); (645, 43, 15)
In the given sets, multiply the second and the third numbers to get the first number.
(312, 24, 13)→24 × 13 = 312
(645, 43, 15)→43 × 15 = 645
Let's check the options –
First option:
(347, 27, 12)→27 × 12 = 324 ≠ 347
Second option:
(347, 22, 17)→22 × 17 = 374 ≠ 347
Third option:
(374, 17, 12)→12 × 17 = 204 ≠ 374
Fourth option:
(374, 22, 17)→22 × 17 = 374
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence the fourth option is correct.
