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)

(17, 136, 40) (11, 198, 90)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (12, 108, 45).

The logic used here is: Second number  ÷ First Number = Resultant number  ×  5 = Third number  

(17, 136, 40)

136 ÷ 17 = 8 ;  8 × 5 = 40

(11, 198, 90)

198 ÷ 11 = 18 ; 18 × 5 = 90

Similarly,

(12, 108, 45)

108 ÷ 12 = 9 ;  9 × 5 = 45

Hence,  the correct answer is (12, 108, 45).
