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 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) (16, 264, 288) (12, 150, 168)

Answer 1

We'll check the given relationship for each set. The relationship mentioned is that the third number is the sum of the second number and 16 times the first number.

Let's start with the first set of numbers: (16, 264, 288).

Our rule is that the third number should be the sum of the second number and 16 times the first number. According to that rule, the third number should be calculated like so:
264 (the second number) + 16 * 16 (16 times the first number) = 264 + 256 = 520

But in our set, the third number is 288, not 520. So the numbers in the first set (16, 264, 288) are not related in the same way as according to the given rule.

Now, let's move on to the second set of numbers: (12, 150, 168)

The rule is the same: the third number should be the sum of the second number and 16 times the first number. According to that rule, the third number should be:
150 (the second number) + 16 * 12 (16 times the first number) = 150 + 192 = 342

But in our set, the third number is 168, not 342. So the numbers in the second set (12, 150, 168) are also not related in the same way as according to the given rule.

Therefore, the sets of numbers (16, 264, 288) and (12, 150, 168) are not related in the same way.
