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 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)
(6, 14, 40)
(10, 14, 48)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (5, 9, 28).
The logic followed is:
Logic: First no. + Second no. × 2 = Third no.
(6, 14, 40) → 6 + 14 × 2
= 20 × 2 = 40
(10, 14, 48) → 10 + 14 × 2
= 24 × 2 = 48
Now, checking the options one by one,
Option (1): (11, 5, 87) → 11 + 5 × 2
= 16 × 2 = 32 ≠ 87
Option (2): (5, 9, 28) → 5 + 9 × 2
= 14 × 2 = 28
Thus, (5, 9, 28) is similar to the given set of numbers. So, there is no need to check other options.
Hence, (5, 9, 28) is the correct answer.
