Question Details

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)

Options

A

(52, 13, 65)

B

(52, 13, 60)

C

(50, 13, 65)

D

(50, 13, 60)

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

(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:

(A,B,C)

First given set: (16, 4, 20)

If we add the first and second numbers, we get the third number:

16+4=20

Additionally, we can observe the relationship based on the middle number (B):

A=4×B16=4×4

C=5×B20=4×5

Second given set: (28, 7, 35)

Applying the same logic:

28+7=35

Using the middle number (B = 7):

A=4×B28=4×7

C=5×B35=5×7

Thus, the logic followed in both given sets is that the numbers are in the ratio 4 : 1 : 5, where:

A+B=C

Now, let us test this relationship on the option (52, 13, 65):

Checking the sum:

52+13=65

Checking the ratios with the middle number (B = 13):

52=4×13

65=5×13

Since the set (52, 13, 65) satisfies the logic perfectly, it is the correct answer.
