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.)
(2, 3, 36)
(1, 7, 49)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (3, 5, 225).
(2, 3, 36) → (2 × 3)2 = 62 = 36
(1, 7, 49) → (1 × 7)2 = 72 = 49
Similarly, (3, 5, 225) → (3 × 5)2 = 152 = 225
