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 is not allowed.)

(9, 55, 64) (7, 43, 50)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (5, 31, 36).

The logic used here is:

(9, 55, 64)

9 × 6 + 1 = 55

9 + 55 = 64 and;

(7, 43, 50)

7 × 6 + 1 = 43

7 + 43 = 50

Similarly;

(5, 31, 36)

5 × 6 + 1 = 31

5 + 31 = 36

Hence, (5, 31, 36) is the correct answer.
