उस सेट का चयन करें जिसमें संख्याएँ उसी तरह से संबंधित हैं जैसे निम्नलिखित सेट की संख्याएँ हैं। (3, 14, 1), (4, 36, 2)

  1. A. (8, 12, 2)
  2. B. (5, 81, 4)
  3. C. (7, 40, 3)
  4. D. (8, 260, 2)

Solution

Logic: $(\text{First}^3 + \text{Third}^3) \div 2 = \text{Second}$. For (3, 14, 1): $(27 + 1)/2 = 14$. For (4, 36, 2): $(64 + 8)/2 = 36$. For (8, 260, 2): $(512 + 8)/2 = 260$.
