Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following 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)
(221, 144, 73)
(222, 153, 75)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (223, 137, 72).
The logic used here is:
The sum of the first and second numbers is divided by 5 then it gives the third number.
(221, 144, 73)
221 + 144 = 365; 365 ÷ 5 = 73
(222, 153, 75)
222 + 153 = 375; 375 ÷ 5 = 75
Similarly,
(223, 137, 72)
223 + 137 = 360; 360 ÷ 5 = 72
As we get our answer, we don't need to check other options.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
