Question

In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. 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 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.) 

89, 104 

157, 172

RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

138, 153

In both given sets, the relationship is: second number = first number + 15.

Checking: \(89+15=104\) and \(157+15=172\), confirming the pattern.

Testing option (138, 153): \(138+15=153\), matching exactly.

Hence, (138, 153) follows the same relationship as the given sets.
