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)

Correct Answer :

Option C

(180, 45, 15)

Solution :

The correct option is (180, 45, 15).


To determine the correct set, let us analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers in the given sets: (108, 27, 9) and (132, 33, 11).


Let each set be represented in the format (A, B, C).


First Set: (108, 27, 9)

Notice the relationship between the third number (C) and the second number (B):

9×3=27

Now, notice the relationship between the second number (B) and the first number (A):

27×4=108

Alternatively, looking at the third number (C) and the first number (A):

9×12=108 (since 3×4=12).


Second Set: (132, 33, 11)

Applying the same pattern:

Relationship between C and B:

11×3=33

Relationship between B and A:

33×4=132

Alternatively, looking at C and A:

11×12=132.


Thus, the common pattern is:

B=C×3

A=B×4=C×12


Now, let us check the options to find the set that follows this exact pattern:


Option 1: (180, 45, 10)

10×3=3045 (Incorrect)


Option 2: (190, 45, 15)

15×3=45

45×4=180190 (Incorrect)


Option 3: (180, 45, 15)

15×3=45

45×4=180

This matches the pattern precisely!


Option 4: (180, 55, 15)

15×3=4555 (Incorrect)


Therefore, the set (180, 45, 15) follows the same pattern as the given sets.
