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)

(7, 35, 42), (4, 20, 24)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (9, 45, 54)

The logic used here is:

(7, 35, 42) = 7 × 5 = 35, 7 × 6 = 42

(4, 20, 24) = 4 × 5 = 20, 4 × 6 = 24

Similarly,

(9, 45, 54) = 9 × 5 = 45, 9 × 6 = 54
