Question

    Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.  

    (14, 9, 529)

    (22, 12, 1156)  

    (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 /deleting /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)

    A (9, 15, 729) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (17, 12, 841) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (13, 20, 1189) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (6, 15, 431) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is: (1st number + 2nd number)2 = 3rd number.   (14, 9, 529) → (14 + 9)² → 23² = 529   (22, 12, 1156) → (22+12)² → 34² = 1156   Now, checking the options:   Option (B): (17, 12, 841) → (17+12)² → 29² = 841. Hence, the correct answer is (B).
