Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the number of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the number into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 133, 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, 5, 16)
(12, 10, 36)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (8, 7, 7)
(7, 5, 16): (72 - 52) - 8 = (49 - 25) - 8 = 24 - 8 = 16
(12, 10, 36): (122 - 102) - 8 = (144 - 100) - 8 = 44 - 8 = 36
Similarly, ( 8, 7, 7): (82 - 72) - 8 = (64 - 49) - 8 = 15 - 8 = 7
