Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(1000, 100, 10)
(38, 19, 2)
(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)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (125, 25, 5).
Logic: (First no.) ÷ (Second no.)= Third number
(1000, 100, 10) → (1000 ÷ 100) = 10
(38, 19, 2) → (38 ÷ 19) = 2
Now, checking the options,
Option (1): (125, 25, 5) → (125 ÷ 25) = 5
Option (2): (5, 5, 5) → (5 ÷ 5) = 1 ≠ 5
Option (3): (3, 3, 9) → (3 ÷ 3) = 1 ≠ 9
Option (4): (16, 8, 4) → (16 ÷ 8) = 2 ≠ 4
Thus, (125, 25, 5) is similar to the given set of numbers as it follows the logic.
Hence, (125, 25, 5) is the correct answer.
