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.)
(6,3,14)
(14,8,27)
Correct Answer :
(19,12,36)
Solution :
The correct set of numbers is (19, 12, 36).
Understanding the Pattern:
Let the three numbers in each set be represented as
.
Let's analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers in the given sets:
Set 1: (6, 3, 14)
1. Multiply the first number by 3:
2. Subtract 4 from this result:
3. Notice that 4 can be obtained from the second number plus 1:
More simply, the general relationship between the numbers is:
Let's test this formula on both given sets:
For Set 1: (6, 3, 14)
This matches the third number 14.
For Set 2: (14, 8, 27)
(Wait, let's re-examine another formula).
Let's find an exact pattern that satisfies both (6, 3, 14) and (14, 8, 27):
For (6, 3, 14):
For (14, 8, 27):
Alternatively, look at:
Set 1:
Set 2:
Let's check the relation:
Set 1:
Set 2:
(close to 27).
Consider:
Set 1:
Set 2:
Now applying the consistent operation logic to Option (19, 12, 36):
Difference between numbers:
Using pattern
:
For (6, 3, 14):
For (14, 8, 27):
For (19, 12, 36):
Therefore, the option (19, 12, 36) follows the correct set relationship.
