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 its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /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)


(21, 3 , 15)

(49, 7, 35)

Options

(84, 12, 60)

B

(85, 12, 60)

C

(84, 12, 62)

D

(85, 13, 60)

Correct Answer :

Option A

(84, 12, 60)

Solution :

To find the correct set, let us analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers in the given sets. Let the three numbers in each set be represented as (A, B, C).

Let us analyze the first given set: (21, 3, 15)
Here, A=21, B=3, and C=15.
If we look at the relationship between the first number and the second number:
21=3×7 (i.e., A=7×B)
If we look at the relationship between the third number and the second number:
15=3×5 (i.e., C=5×B)

Let us verify this relationship with the second given set: (49, 7, 35)
Here, A=49, B=7, and C=35.
Applying the same logic:
49=7×7 (i.e., A=7×B)
35=7×5 (i.e., C=5×B)
The pattern is consistent across both sets.

Now, let us test the options to find the set that follows the same rule:
Check the option (84, 12, 60):
Here, A=84, B=12, and C=60.
Let's verify:
12×7=84 (satisfies A=7×B)
12×5=60 (satisfies C=5×B)

Since both conditions are satisfied, the numbers in the set (84, 12, 60) are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets.
