Question : Directions: 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.)
(15, 28, 41)
(19, 32, 45)
Option 1: (16, 28, 43)
Option 2: (12, 25, 36)
Option 3: (24, 38, 55)
Option 4: (22, 35, 48)
Correct Answer: (22, 35, 48)
Solution :
Given:
(15, 28, 41); (19, 32, 45)
⇒(15, 28, 41)→15 + 41 = 56; 56 ÷ 2 = 28
⇒(19, 32, 45)→19 + 45 = 64; 64 ÷ 2 = 32
Let's check the options –
First option:
(16, 28, 43)→16 + 43 = 59; 59 ÷ 2 = 29.5 ≠ 28
Second option:
(12, 25, 36)→12 + 36 = 48; 48 ÷ 2 = 24 ≠ 25
Third option:
(24, 38, 55)→24 + 55 = 79; 79 ÷ 2 = 39.5 ≠ 38
Fourth option:
(22, 35, 48)→22 + 48 = 70; 70 ÷ 2 = 35
So, only the fourth option follows the pattern of the given sets. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
