Question

Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers. 48 : 42

• A. 63 : 28
• B. 65: 28
• C. 69 : 32
• D. 48: 24

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 63 : 28

The correct option is 63 : 28.

Why 63 : 28 is the Correct Choice

the logic followed by the pair 48 : 42 is:
$\mathbf{(\text{Product of the digits of the 1st number}) + 10 = \text{2nd number}}$

Applying this rule to 63 : 28:

1. Multiply the digits of the first number (63):
   $6 \times 3 = 18$
   

2. Add 10 to the result:
   $18 + 10 = \mathbf{28}$

Why the Other Options are Incorrect

• 65 : 28 $\rightarrow (6 \times 5) + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40$ (Not equal to 28)

• 69 : 32 $\rightarrow (6 \times 9) + 10 = 54 + 10 = 64$ (Not equal to 32)

• 48 : 24 $\rightarrow (4 \times 8) + 10 = 32 + 10 = 42$ (Not equal to 24)
