Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given triad of numbers.
(4, 16, 60)
(2, 4, 6)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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.)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 3, 9, 24.
Logic: First number2 = Second number, (First number3 - First number) = Third number
(4, 16, 60) → 42 = 16, (43 - 4) = 64 - 4 = 60
(2, 4, 6) → 22 = 4, (23 - 2) = 8 - 2 = 6
Similarly, (3, 9, 24) → 32 = 9, (33 - 3) = 27 - 3 = 24
