Question

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. (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 to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (16, 3, 27) (10, 19, 37)

• A. (5, 14, 20)
• B. (15, 17, 30)
• C. (19, 15, 32)
• D. (7, 25, 40)

Answer 1

Answer:

D. (7, 25, 40)

Let’s find the relation in the given sets:

(16, 3, 27)

Check:
16 + 3 = 19
19 + 8 = 27

(10, 19, 37)

Check:
10 + 19 = 29
29 + 8 = 37

Pattern:

$\text{Third number} = (\text{First} + \text{Second}) + 8$
Final Answer:

The correct set will follow:
c = a + b + 8

Answer = (7, 25, 40)
