Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.
(16, 12, 32)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (36, 27, 77).
The logic followed in given set (16, 12, 32) is
12 → (16 ÷ 4) × 3
32 → (12 × 3) - 4
Checking for options:
Option 1: (20, 15, 42) → (20, (20 ÷ 4) × 3, (15 × 3) - 3) is not following the logic.
Option 2: (76, 57, 176) → (76, (76 ÷ 4) × 3, (57 × 3) + 5) is not following the logic.
Option 3: (36, 27, 77) → (36, (36 ÷ 4) × 3, (27 × 3) - 4) is following the logic.
Option 4: (56, 24, 68) → (56, (56 ÷ 7) × 3, (24 × 3)- 4) is not following the logic.
Therefore, Option 3 will be the correct option.
