Back to paper

Select the option in which the numbers do NOT share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers. 

(23, 115, 207)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (8, 35, 72).

Understanding

Given- (23, 115, 207)

The pattern followed here is:

(23, 23 × 5, 23 × 9)

This gives (23, 115, 207)

Now, we will try and see this relationship in all the options.

Option 1- (8, 35, 72)

(8, 8 × 5, 8 × 9)

This gives (8, 40, 72)

This does not follow the same relation.

Option 2- (6, 30, 54)

(6, 6 × 5, 6 × 9)

This gives (6, 30, 54)

This follows the same relation.

Option 3- (16, 80, 144)

(16, 16 × 5, 16 × 9)

This gives (16, 80, 144)

This follows the same relation.

Option 4- (21, 105, 189)

(21, 21 × 5, 21 × 9)

This gives (21, 105, 189)

This follows the same relation.

Thus, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (8, 35, 72) since it does not follow the same relation.
