Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as 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 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)
(4, 8, 256) (2, 9, 144)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (6, 9, 432)
The logic used here is:
(4, 8, 256) = 4 × 8 = 32, 32 × 8 = 256
(2, 9, 144) = 2 × 9 = 18, 18 × 8 = 144
Similarly;
(6, 9, 432) = 6 × 9 = 54, 54 × 8 = 432
