Select the option in which the numbers share 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. Eg 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.)
(12, 60, 5)
(14, 56, 4)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The relation between the numbers in the first group, is that the middle term is the product of the extreme terms,
(12, 60, 5) 60 = 12 x 5
(14, 56, 4) 56 = 14 x 4
Among the given options, only option #3 follows the same relationship, i.e. (10, 100, 10) {10 x 10 = 100}
