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.)
(2,9,17)
(11,16,60)
Correct Answer :
(6,17,41)
Solution :
The correct answer is (6, 17, 41).
Logic and Pattern Analysis:
Let the numbers in each set be represented as (A, B, C).
We need to find the relationship between A, B, and C using operations on whole numbers.
Let's analyze the first given set: (2, 9, 17)
Multiply the first number (A) by 4 and add it to the second number (B):
This gives the third number (C).
Let's check the second given set: (11, 16, 60)
Applying the same formula :
The rule holds true for both given sets.
Testing the Options:
1. (11, 8, 12):
(Incorrect)
2. (3, 2, 34):
(Incorrect)
3. (9, 12, 8):
(Incorrect)
4. (6, 17, 41):
(Correct)
Thus, the set (6, 17, 41) follows the same relationship pattern as the given sets.
