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)
(243, 81, 27); (99, 33, 11)

Option 1: (27, 25, 23)

Option 2: (27, 9, 3)

Option 3: (27, 20, 19)

Option 4: (27, 18, 9)

Correct Answer: (27, 9, 3)


Solution : Given:
(243, 81, 27); (99, 33, 11)

Divide the first number by three, to get the second number and divide the second number by three, to get the third number.
(243, 81, 27)→243 ÷ 3 = 81; 81 ÷ 3 = 27
(99, 33, 11)→99 ÷ 3 = 33; 33 ÷ 3 = 11

Let's check the options –
First option: (27, 25, 23)→27 ÷ 3 = 9 ≠ 25; 25 ÷ 3 = 8.33 ≠ 23
Second option: (27, 9, 3)→27 ÷ 3 = 9; 9 ÷ 3 = 3
Third option: (27, 20, 19)→27 ÷ 3 = 9 ≠ 20; 20 ÷ 3 = 6.67 ≠ 19
Fourth option: (27, 18, 9)→27 ÷ 3 = 9 ≠ 18; 18 ÷ 3 = 6 ≠ 9

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as the given number pair. Hence the second option is correct.
