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)

 (8, 63, 81)

(11, 120, 144)

Options:

(9, 80, 100)

(6, 36, 49)

(5, 24, 49)

(7, 48, 96)

Correct Answer:

(9, 80, 100)

Explanation:

 (8, 63, 81)

(11, 120, 144)

The logic followed here is :

(Ist number)2 - 1 =  second number  and  (Ist number + 1)2 =   Third number 

as

(8)2 - 1 =  63 and  (8 + 1)2 =  81

(11)2 - 1 =  120  and  (11 + 1)2 =   144

same as (9, 80, 100)

(9)2 - 1 = 80  and  (9+ 1)2 =   100
