Question:

Select the option in which the numbers shares the same relationship in set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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)

(17, 51, 153)

(32, 96, 288)

Options:

(73, 229, 657)

(81, 343, 729)

(16, 48, 154)

(42, 126, 378)

Correct Answer:

(42, 126, 378)

Explanation:

(17, 51, 153)

(32, 96, 288)

The logic followed here is :

Ist number × 3 = Second number   and Second number × 3 = IIIrd  number

as

17 × 3 = 51  and  51 × 3 = 153

32 × 3 = 96  and  96 × 3 = 288

same as (42, 126, 378)

42 × 3 = 126  and  126 × 3 = 378
