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.) (6, 17, 41) (3, 20, 32)

• A. (9,6,40)
• B. (23,4,96)
• C. (7,16,14)
• D. (12,15,53)

Answer 1

Answer:

B. (23,4,96)

$41 - 17 = 24 = 6 \times 4$

$32 - 20 = 12 = 3 \times 4$

So pattern:
$c - b = a \times 4$
Thus:
c = b + 4a

Check:
$17 + 4 \times 6 = 17 + 24 = 41$
$20 + 4 \times 3 = 20 + 12 = 32$
Pattern: (c = b + 4a)

Answer

(23,4,96)

$96=4+4\times23)$
