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)
(8, 12, 6) (9, 18, 8)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (12, 24, 8).
(8, 12, 6) = 8 × 6 = 48, 48 ÷ 4 = 12
(9, 18, 8) = 9 × 8 = 72, 72 ÷ 4 = 8
(12, 24, 8) = 12 × 8 = 96, 96 ÷ 4 = 24
