Select the option in which the numbers shares the same relationship in set as that shared by the numbers in the given set.
(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)
(36, 99, 106)
(72, 207, 214)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (24, 63, 70).
Logic: 1st number × 3 - 9 = 2nd number; 2nd number + 7 = 3rd number.
(36, 99, 106) → 36 × 3 - 9 = 108 - 9 = 99; 99 + 7 = 107
(72, 207, 214) → 72 × 3 - 9 = 216 - 9 = 207; 207 + 7 = 214
Similarly, (24, 63, 70) → 24 × 3 - 9 = 72 - 9 = 63; 63 + 7 = 70
