Question Details

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 B

(165, 55, 11)

Solution :

The correct option is (165, 55, 11).

Let us analyze the relationship between the three numbers in the given sets: (A,B,C).

First Set: (45,15,3)

If we divide the first number by the second number, we get:
45÷15=3 (which is the third number)

Also, notice that:
3×15=45

Second Set: (120,40,8)

Dividing the first number by the second number gives:
120÷40=3

Wait, let us re-examine the pattern across both sets:

In set 1: 45÷15=3, and the third number is 3.
In set 2: 120÷40=3, but the third number is 8? No, let us check another relation:

A÷C=B

For (45,15,3):
45÷3=15

For (120,40,8):
120÷8=15

Therefore, the logic following both given sets is:
First number ÷ Third number = Second number (or First number = Second number × Third number / 15 ... wait, 15×3=45 and 40×8=320120).

Let us check: A÷C=15? No, 45÷3=15 (second number) and 120÷8=15 (which is not 40, but 120÷40=3 and 120÷15=8).

Let's check the ratio:
A=B×3
For set 1: 15×3=45
For set 2: 40×3=120

So the relation between the first two numbers is A=3×B (or A÷B=3).

Now let's check the options for A=3×B:
1. 55×3=165 (Holds for 165, 55)
2. 54×3=162165

Now let me check the third number C:
In set 1: 15÷5=3 or 45÷15=3
In set 2: 40÷5=8
So, C=B÷5!

Let me verify:
For (45,15,3):
A=3×15=45
C=15÷5=3

For (120,40,8):
A=3×40=120
C=40÷5=8

Applying this rule to (165,55,11):
A=3×55=165
C=55÷5=11

Thus, (165,55,11) follows the exact same pattern.
