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

(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)

(14, 378, 9) (18, 432, 8)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (15, 405, 9)

The logic used here is:

(14, 378, 9) = 14 × 9 = 126, 126 × 3 = 378

(18, 432, 8) = 18 × 8 = 144, 144 × 3 = 432

Similarly,

(15, 405, 9) = 15 × 9 = 135, 135 × 3 = 405
