Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given 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.)
(17, 29, 46)
(24, 36, 60)
Option 1: (36, 46, 81)
Option 2: (29, 41, 64)
Option 3: (21, 33, 54)
Option 4: (48, 52, 98)
Correct Answer: (21, 33, 54)
Solution :
Given:
(17, 29, 46); (24, 36, 60)
Here, (17, 29, 46)→17 + 29 = 46
(24, 36, 60)→24 + 36 = 60
Let's check the options –
First option:
(36, 46, 81)→36 + 46 = 82 ≠ 81
Second option:
(29, 41, 64)→29 + 41 = 70 ≠ 64
Third option:
(21, 33, 54)→21 + 33 = 54
Fourth option:
(48, 52, 98)→48 + 52 = 100 ≠ 98
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
