Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets:
(4, 16, 8) (2, 14, 9)
(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)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (2, 8, 6).
Logic: (2nd number ÷ 1st number) - 1st number = 3rd number
(4, 16, 8) ⇒ (16 ÷ 4) + 4 = 8
(2, 14, 9) ⇒ (14 ÷ 2) + 2 = 9
Similarly, (2, 8, 6) ⇒ (8 ÷ 2) + 2 = 6
