Question

    Select the set in which the numbers are not related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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.

    [34, 26, 94]

    [53, 24, 130]

    A (48, 34, 130) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (22, 14, 58) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (42, 38, 122) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (12, 45, 76) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pattern followed here is: The first number is multiplied by 2 and then it is added to the second number to get the third number. (34, 26, 94) → (34 X 2 + 26) = 94 (53, 24, 130) → (53 X 2 + 24) = 130 (48, 34, 130) → (48 X 2 + 34) = 130 (22, 14, 58) → (22 X 2 + 14) = 58 (42, 38, 122) → (42 X 2 + 38) = 122 (12, 45, 76) → (12 X 2 + 45) = 69
