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)

(18, 69, 279)

(12, 45, 183)

Options:

(14, 39, 159)

(16, 67, 265)

(32, 125, 503)

(22, 85, 345)

Correct Answer:

(32, 125, 503)

Explanation:

(18, 69, 279)

(12, 45, 183)

The logic followed here is :

(Ist number × 4) - 3  = second number  and (IInd number × 4) + 3 = IIIrd number

as

(18 × 4) - 3  = 69 and (69 × 4) + 3 = 279

(12 × 4) - 3  = 45 and (45 × 4) + 3 = 183

Same as (32, 125, 503)

(32 × 4) - 3  = 125 and (125 × 4) + 3 = 503
