Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(6, 3, 46)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (7, 9, 131).
Logic: (1st term)2 + (2nd term)2 + 1 = 3rd term
(6, 3, 46)
According to the logic:
= (62 + 32) + 1
= (36 + 9) + 1
= 46
Let's check each option:
1. (5, 3, 29)
= (52 + 32) + 1
= (25 + 9) + 1
= 35
2. (4, 2, 28)
= (42 + 22) + 1
= (16 + 4) + 1
= 21
3. (7, 9, 131)
= (72 + 92) + 1
= (49 + 81) + 1
= 131
As we get our answer from Option 3, we don't need to check further options.
Hence, (7, 9, 131) is the correct answer.
