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).

(56, 121, 242)
(78, 165, 726)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (36, 99, 198).

Logic: (1st number + Reverse of 1st number) = 2nd number;

2nd number + Reverse of 2nd number = 3rd number

(56, 121, 242) → 56 + 65 = 121 → 121 + 121 = 242

(78, 165, 726) → 78 + 87 = 165 → 165 + 561 = 726

Similarly, (36, 99, 198) → 36 + 63 = 99 → 99 + 99 = 198
