Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(13, 57, 111)
(11, 49, 95)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (9, 41, 79).
(13, 57, 111): (13 × 4) + 5 = 57; (57 × 2) - 3 = 111
(11, 49, 95): (11 × 4) + 5 = 49; (49 × 2) - 3 = 95
Similarly, (9, 41, 79): (9 × 4) + 5 = 41; (41 × 2) - 3 = 79
