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

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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)

(6, 2, 96) (5, 6, 240)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (1, 2, 16)​​​

The logic used here is:

(6, 2, 96) = 96 ÷ 6 = 16; 16 ÷ 8 = 2

(5, 6, 240) = 240 ÷ 5 = 48; 48 ÷ 8 = 6

Similarly,

(1, 2, 16) = 16 ÷ 1 = 16; 16 ÷ 8 = 2
