Question : Directions: Select the triad in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following triads. (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.)
3 – 4 – 24
4 – 7 – 56

Correct Answer: 5 – 8 – 80
Solution : Given:
(3 – 4 – 24); (4 – 7 – 56)
Like, (3 – 4 – 24)→(3 × 4) × 2 = 24
And, (4 – 7 – 56)→(4 × 7) × 2 = 56
Let's check the options –
First option: (9 – 12 – 54); (9 × 12) × 2 = 108 × 2 = 216 ≠ 54
Second option: (8 – 7 – 53); (8 × 7) × 2 = 56 × 2 = 112 ≠ 53
Third option: (2 – 3 – 18); (2 × 3) × 2 = 6 × 2 = 12 ≠ 18
Fourth option: (5 – 8 – 80); (5 × 8) × 2 = 40 × 2 = 80
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
