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.) (18, 36, 60) (14, 28, 44)
Option 1: (21, 42, 164)
Option 2: (17, 32, 60)
Option 3: (16, 28, 64)
Option 4: (22, 44, 76)
Correct Answer: (22, 44, 76)
Solution : Given: (18, 36, 60); (14, 28, 44)
In the above-given set of numbers, multiply the first number by 2 to obtain the second number. Multiply the first number by 4 and then subtract 12 from the resultant to get the third number. (18, 36, 60)→18 × 2 = 36; (18 × 4) – 12 = 72 – 12 = 60 (14, 28, 44)→14 × 2 = 28; (14 × 4) – 12 = 56 – 12 = 44
Let's check the options – First option: (21, 42, 164)→21 × 2 = 42; (21 × 4) – 12 = 84 – 12 = 72 ≠ 164 Second option: (17, 32, 60)→17 × 2 = 34 ≠ 32; (17 × 4) – 12 = 68 – 12 = 56 ≠ 60 Third option: (16, 28, 64)→16 × 2 = 32 ≠ 28; (16 × 4) – 12 = 64 – 12 = 52 ≠ 64 Fourth option: (22, 44, 76)→22 × 2 = 44; (22 × 4) – 12 = 88 – 12 = 76
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
