Question

Below are given two sets of numbers. In each set of numbers, a certain mathematical operation on first number results in the second number. Similarly, certain mathematical operation on second number results in the third number and so on. Which of the given options follows the same set of operations as that followed in question?

(NOTE - A two/three digit number cannot be broken into individual digits for operations; e.g., if 37 is followed by 10, the operation cannot be 3+7 as a two digit number cannot be broken into individual digits.)

8 - 32 - 128 - 512 ; 2 - 8 - 32 - 128

This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2025 Question Paper (18-Aug-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

3 - 12 - 48 - 192

In the first set, 8 x 4 = 32, 32 x 4 = 128, 128 x 4 = 512.

In the second set, 2 x 4 = 8, 8 x 4 = 32, 32 x 4 = 128.

So the operation followed is: multiply each number by 4 to get the next number.

Checking the correct answer: 3 x 4 = 12, 12 x 4 = 48, 48 x 4 = 192 - the same multiply-by-4 pattern holds throughout.

None of the other options keep a constant multiplier of 4 across all three steps.

Hence, 3 - 12 - 48 - 192 follows the same set of operations.
