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 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 are not allowed)
(9, 16, 5) (7, 9, 4)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (11, 36, 5).
The logic used here is:
(9, 16, 5)
9 - 5 = 4
42 = 16
(7, 9, 4)
7 - 4 = 3
32 = 9
Similarly;
(11, 36, 5)
11 - 5 = 6
62 = 36
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
