Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(13, 41, 89)
(4, 14, 26)
(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.)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (8, 26, 54).
(13, 41, 89) → (13 × 3) + 2 = 39 + 2 = 41; (13 × 7) - 2 = 91 - 2 = 89
(4, 14, 26) → (4 × 3) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14; (4 × 7) - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26
Similarly, (8, 26, 54) → (8 × 3) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26; (8 × 7) - 2 = 56 - 2 = 54
