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)
(108, 27, 9)
(132, 33, 11)
Correct Answer :
(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):
Now, notice the relationship between the second number (B) and the first number (A):
Alternatively, looking at the third number (C) and the first number (A):
(since ).
Second Set: (132, 33, 11)
Applying the same pattern:
Relationship between C and B:
Relationship between B and A:
Alternatively, looking at C and A:
.
Thus, the common pattern is:
Now, let us check the options to find the set that follows this exact pattern:
Option 1: (180, 45, 10)
(Incorrect)
Option 2: (190, 45, 15)
(Incorrect)
Option 3: (180, 45, 15)
This matches the pattern precisely!
Option 4: (180, 55, 15)
(Incorrect)
Therefore, the set (180, 45, 15) follows the same pattern as the given sets.
