Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.

(4, 25, 105)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (14, 50, 180).

Understanding

The logic used here is:

(4, 25, 105)

(25 - 4) × 5 = 105

Option 1: (26, 52, 275)

(52 - 26) × 5 = 130

This does not follow the logic.

Option 2: (12, 22, 87)

(22 - 12) × 5 = 50

This does not follow the logic.

Option 3: (34, 52, 166)

(52 - 34) × 5 = 90

This does not follow the logic.

Option 4: (14, 50, 180)

(50 - 14) × 5 = 180

This follows the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
