Select the set in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as the numbers of the following set are related to each other.
(Note: Mathematical operations must be performed on whole numbers, without splitting the number into its constituent digits. For example 13 - Mathematical operations such as addition/subtraction/multiplying etc. can be performed on the number 13. Breaking 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
(6, 7, 27)
(3, 1, 6)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (3, 6, 21).
(6, 7, 27) → 6 + (7 × 3) = 6 + 21 = 27
(3, 1, 6) → 3 + (1 × 3) = 3 + 3 = 6
Similarly, (3, 6, 21) → 3 + (6 × 3) = 3 + 18 = 21
