Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
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 /deleting /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)
(48, 8, 12)
(42, 6, 14)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
(48, 8, 12)
(42, 6, 14)
The logic followed here is :
(second number × IIIrd number) ÷ 2 = Ist number
as
(8 × 12) ÷ 2 = 48
(6 × 14) ÷ 2 = 42
Therefore (44, 22, 4)
(22 × 4) ÷ 2 = 44
