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.)
(19, 9, 173)
(6, 17, 104)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (11, 4, 46).
(19, 9, 173) → (19 × 9) + 2 = 171 + 2 = 173
(6, 17, 104) → (6 × 17) + 2 = 102 + 2 = 104
Similarly,
(11, 4, 46) → (11 × 4) + 2 = 44 + 2 = 46
Thus, (11, 4, 46) follows the same pattern as in the given number set.
