Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given 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.)
(16, 4, 20)
(28, 7, 35)
Correct Answer :
(52, 13, 65)
Solution :
The correct option is (52, 13, 65).
To find the matching set, let us analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers in the given sets of the form:
First given set: (16, 4, 20)
If we add the first and second numbers, we get the third number:
Additionally, we can observe the relationship based on the middle number (B):
Second given set: (28, 7, 35)
Applying the same logic:
Using the middle number (B = 7):
Thus, the logic followed in both given sets is that the numbers are in the ratio 4 : 1 : 5, where:
Now, let us test this relationship on the option (52, 13, 65):
Checking the sum:
Checking the ratios with the middle number (B = 13):
Since the set (52, 13, 65) satisfies the logic perfectly, it is the correct answer.
