Question Details

In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set 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 their 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.)

Correct Answer :

Option C

136, 244

Solution :

The correct option is 136, 244.

Step-by-step Explanation:
To find the logic behind the given number-pairs, let us analyze the relation between the first number and the second number in each of the given sets.

First Set: (124, 232)
Let us find the difference between the two numbers:
232124=108
This means the second number is obtained by adding 108 to the first number.

Second Set: (107, 215)
Let us verify if the same pattern applies to the second set:
215107=108
The pattern is consistent. In both sets, the relationship is:
Second Number=First Number+108

Now, let us apply this logic to the given options to find the matching pair:
Checking Option (136, 244):
Add 108 to the first number 136:
136+108=244
This matches the second number in the pair.

For comparison, let's verify the other options:
• For (178, 276): 178+108=286276
• For (153, 271): 153+108=261271
• For (181, 288): 181+108=289288

Therefore, the pair that follows the same logic is 136, 244.
