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.)
(45, 15, 3)
(120, 40, 8)
Correct Answer :
(165, 55, 11)
Solution :
The correct option is (165, 55, 11).
Let us analyze the relationship between the three numbers in the given sets: .
First Set:
If we divide the first number by the second number, we get:
(which is the third number)
Also, notice that:
Second Set:
Dividing the first number by the second number gives:
Wait, let us re-examine the pattern across both sets:
In set 1: , and the third number is .
In set 2: , but the third number is ? No, let us check another relation:
For :
For :
Therefore, the logic following both given sets is:
First number ÷ Third number = Second number (or First number = Second number × Third number / 15 ... wait, and ).
Let us check: ? No, (second number) and (which is not 40, but and ).
Let's check the ratio:
For set 1:
For set 2:
So the relation between the first two numbers is (or ).
Now let's check the options for :
1. (Holds for 165, 55)
2.
Now let me check the third number :
In set 1: or
In set 2:
So, !
Let me verify:
For :
For :
Applying this rule to :
Thus, follows the exact same pattern.
