Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.
(37, 28, 333)
(41, 39, 82)
(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)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
(37, 28, 333) →
37 - 28 = 9 × 37 ( first number ) = 333
In the same way ( 41, 39, 82 )
41 - 39 = 2 × 41 = 82
Option 1 : ( 18, 13, 90 ) →
18 - 13 = 5 × 18 = 90 ( satisfied )
Option 2 : ( 17, 14, 67 ) →
17 - 14 = 3 × 17 = 51 ≠ 67
Option 3 : ( 16, 12, 54 ) →
16 - 12 = 4 × 16 = 64 ≠ 54
Option 4 : ( 19, 15, 44 ) →
19 - 15 = 4 × 19 = 76 ≠ 44
Hence, ( 18, 13, 90 ) is the correct answer.
