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 are not allowed)
(4, 13, 5) (3, 12, 6)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (5, 17, 7).
(4, 13, 5) = 4 × 2 = 8, 13 - 5 = 8
(3, 12, 6) = 3 × 2 = 6, 12 - 6 = 6
Similarly, (5, 17, 7) = 5 × 2 = 10, 17 - 7 = 10
