Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(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 /deleting /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.)
(8, 1, 46) (9, 4, 22)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (7, 3, 13).
The logic used here is:
(first number - second number)² - 3
(8, 1, 46)
(8 - 1)² - 3
7² - 3
49 - 3 = 46
(9, 4, 22)
(9 - 4)² - 3
25 - 3 = 22
Similarly;
(7, 3, 13)
(7 - 3)² - 3
16 - 3 = 13
Hence, (7, 3, 13) is the correct answer.
