Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related similarly to 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.)
(239, 127, 212)
(96, 64, 132)
Option 1: (262, 132, 240)
Option 2: (140, 76, 181)
Option 3: (167, 89, 178)
Option 4: (110, 91, 159)
Correct Answer: (167, 89, 178)
Solution :
Given:
(239, 127, 212) and (96, 64, 132)
Subtract the second number from the first number and then add 100 to the resultant to get the third number.
⇒ (239, 127, 212)→239 – 127 = 112; 112 + 100 = 212
⇒ (96, 64, 132)→96 – 64 = 32; 32 + 100 = 132
Let's check the options –
First option:
(262, 132, 240)→262 – 132 = 130; 130 + 100 = 230
≠ 240
Second option:
(140, 76, 181)→140 – 76 = 64; 64 + 100 = 164
≠ 181
Third option:
(167, 89, 178)→167 – 89 = 78; 78 + 100 = 178
Fourth option:
(110, 91, 159)→110 – 91 = 19; 19 + 100 = 119
≠ 159
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
