Question : Directions: Select the option 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.)
(24, 8, 96)
(36, 4, 72)
Option 1: (12, 6, 36)
Option 2: (30, 4, 40)
Option 3: (28, 8, 104)
Option 4: (16, 2, 18)
Correct Answer: (12, 6, 36)
Solution :
Given:
(24, 8, 96); (36, 4, 72)
Like, (24, 8, 96)→(24 × 8) ÷ 2 = 192 ÷ 2 = 96
(36, 4, 72)→(36 × 4) ÷ 2 = 144 ÷ 2 = 72
Let's check each option –
First option:
(12, 6, 36)→(12 × 6) ÷ 2 = 72 ÷ 2 = 36
Second option:
(30, 4, 40)→(30 × 4) ÷ 2 = 120 ÷ 2 = 60 ≠ 40
Third option:
(28, 8, 104)→(28 × 8) ÷ 2 = 224 ÷ 2 = 112 ≠ 104
Fourth option:
(16, 2, 18)→(16 × 2) ÷ 2 = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 ≠ 18
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
