Question:

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)

(24, 8, 96)
(36, 4, 72)

Options:

(12, 6, 36)

(30, 4, 40)

(28, 8, 104)

(16, 2, 18)

Correct Answer:

(12, 6, 36)

Explanation:

(24, 8, 96)
(36, 4, 72)

The logic followed here is :

(Ist number)  × ( second number ÷ 2 ) = IIIrd number

As

(24)  × (8 ÷ 2 ) = 96

(36)  × ( 4÷ 2 ) = 72

same as in (12, 6, 36)

(12)  × ( 6 ÷ 2 ) = 36
