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.)
(7, 11, 33)
(14, 18, 54)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (12, 16, 48).
(7, 11, 33) → 7 + 4 = 11, 11 × 3 = 33
(14, 18, 54) → 14 + 4 = 18, 18 × 3 = 54
Similarly,
(12, 16, 48) → 12 + 4 = 16, 16 × 3 = 48
Thus, (12, 16, 48) follows the same pattern as in the given number set.
