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. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Correct Answer: (337, 311, 18)
Solution :
Given:
(182, 156,13); (238, 212,15)
Add and subtract 13 from the square of the third number, to get the first and second number respectively –
⇒ (182, 156, 13)→13
2
+ 13 = 182; 13
2
– 13 = 156
⇒ (238, 212, 15)→15
2
+ 13 = 238; 15
2
– 13 = 212
Let's check each option –
First option:
(370, 348, 19)→19
2
+ 13 = 374 ≠ 370; 19
2
– 13 = 348
Second option:
(336, 302, 17)→17
2
+ 13 = 302 ≠ 336; 17
2
– 13 = 276 ≠ 302
Third option:
(142, 126, 11)→11
2
+ 13 = 134 ≠ 142; 11
2
– 13 = 108 ≠ 126
Fourth option:
(337, 311, 18)→18
2
+ 13 = 337; 18
2
– 13 = 311
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
