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 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.)

(20, 46, 2)

(32, 136, 24)

Options

A

(6, 42, 10)

B

(32, 93, 11)

C

(13, 25, 1)

D

(17, 78, 16)

Correct Answer :

Option A

(6, 42, 10)

Solution :

The correct answer is (6, 42, 10).

Logic and Pattern Analysis:
Let the numbers in each set be represented as (First Number, Second Number, Third Number) or (A, B, C).

The relationship between the numbers follows the pattern:

Second Number=(2×First Number)+(3×Third Number)

B=2A+3C

Let me verify this pattern with the given sets:

Set 1: (20, 46, 2)

B=(2×20)+(3×2)

B=40+6=46

This matches the middle term of the first set.

Set 2: (32, 136, 24)

B=(2×32)+(3×24)

B=64+72=136

This matches the middle term of the second set.

Now, let's test the options to find the set that follows the same rule:

Option 1: (6, 42, 10)

B=(2×6)+(3×10)

B=12+30=42

This matches the middle number 42 perfectly.

Option 2: (32, 93, 11)

(2×32)+(3×11)=64+33=9793

Option 3: (13, 25, 1)

(2×13)+(3×1)=26+3=2925

Option 4: (17, 78, 16)

(2×17)+(3×16)=34+48=8278

Therefore, the set (6, 42, 10) follows the exact same pattern as the original sets.
