From the given options choose the one in which the set of numbers do not follow the same Logic/Rule/Relation as the numbers are given in the below set.

(12, 36, 132)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. (18, 54, 196).

Understanding

The logic used here is:

(12, 36, 132)

12 × 3 = 36

12 × 11 = 132

Option 1: (22, 66, 242)

22 × 3 = 66

66 × 11 = 726

This does not follow the logic.

Option 2: (18, 54, 196)

18 × 3 = 54

18 × 11 = 196

This follows the logic. 

So, there is no further need for checking all the options.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
