Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given 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.)
(111, 16, 7) (167, 14, 12)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (131, 12, 11).
The logic used here is:
(111, 16, 7)
16 × 7 - 1 = 112 - 1 = 111
(167, 14, 12)
14 × 12 - 1 = 168 - 1 = 167
Similarly,
(131, 12, 11)
12 × 11 - 1 = 132 - 1 = 131
Hence, (131, 12, 11) is the correct answer.
