Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (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.)
(100, 150, 125)
(500, 400, 450)

Option 1: (14, 16, 28)

Option 2: (120, 100, 130)

Option 3: (200, 400, 300)

Option 4: (180, 140, 260)

Correct Answer: (200, 400, 300)


Solution : Given:
(100, 150, 125); (500, 400, 450)

Divide the sum of the first two numbers by 2, to get the third number –
(100, 150, 125)→(100 + 150) ÷ 2 = 250 ÷ 2 = 125
(500, 400, 450)→(500 + 400) ÷ 2 = 900 ÷ 2 = 450

Let's check each option –
First option: (14, 16, 28)→(14 + 16) ÷ 2 = 30 ÷ 2 = 15 ≠ 28
Second option: (120, 100, 130)→(120 + 100) ÷ 2 = 220 ÷ 2 = 110 ≠ 130
Third option: (200, 400, 300)→(200 + 400) ÷ 2 = 600 ÷ 2 = 300
Fourth option: (180, 140, 260)→(180 + 140) ÷ 2 = 320 ÷ 2 = 160 ≠ 260

So, only the third option follows the same pattern as the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
