Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are 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 to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(16, 3, 27)
(10, 19, 37)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (7, 25, 40).
(16, 3, 27) → (16 + 3) + 8 = 27
(10, 19, 37) → (10 + 19) + 8 = 37
Similarly, (7, 25, 40) → (7 + 25) + 8 = 40
