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 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.)
(3, 12, 26)
(7, 9, 53)
Correct Answer :
(7, 5, 25)
Solution :
The correct option is (7, 5, 25).
Logic/Pattern:
In each set of three numbers (A, B, C), the third number is obtained by subtracting 10 from the product of the first two numbers.
Let's verify this pattern with the given sets:
1. First set: (3, 12, 26)
2. Second set: (7, 9, 53)
Now, let's test the given options to find which one follows the exact same pattern:
Option 1: (4, 9, 16)
(Incorrect)
Option 2: (12, 4, 114)
(Incorrect)
Option 3: (7, 5, 25)
(Correct)
Option 4: (5, 15, 45)
(Incorrect)
Hence, (7, 5, 25) is the set that follows the same relationship.
