Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(8, 13, 21); (13, 18, 31)
(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).

Option 1: (14, 19, 33)

Option 2: (8, 3, 11)

Option 3: (11, 16, 29)

Correct Answer: (11, 16, 29)


Solution : Given:
(8, 13, 21); (13, 18, 31)

In the given sets, add the first and second numbers to get the third number.
(8, 13, 21) ⇒ 8 + 13 = 21
(13, 18, 31) ⇒ 13 + 18 = 31
Let's check the options –
First option: (14, 19, 33) ⇒ 14 + 19 = 33
Second option: (8, 3, 11) ⇒ 8 + 3 = 11
Third option: (11, 16, 29) ⇒ 11 + 16 = 27 ≠ 29
Fourth option: (17, 12, 29) ⇒ 17 + 12 = 29

So, only the third option does not follow the pattern of the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
