Question

Replace the question mark with an option that follows the same logic applied in the first pair. 

58:40::86:?

The correct answer is
48

Analogy Logic Explained

The question presents a number analogy: 58:40::86:?. We need to find the relationship between the first pair (58 and 40) and apply it to the second pair (86 and ?).

Identifying the Pattern

  • Consider the first pair: 58 and 40.
  • Let's examine the relationship between the digits of 58 and the number 40.
  • Multiply the digits of 58: $5 \times 8 = 40$.
  • This matches the second number in the pair.

Applying the Pattern

Now, apply the same logic (multiplying the digits) to the number 86:

  • Digits of 86 are 8 and 6.
  • Multiply the digits: $8 \times 6 = 48$.

Conclusion

Therefore, the missing number that follows the same logic is 48. The analogy is 58:40::86:48.

Important Questions from Number Based

  1. Below are given two sets of numbers. In each set of numbers, a certain mathematical operation on the first number results in the second number. Similarly, certain mathematical operations on the second number result in the third number and so on. Which of the given options follows the same set of operations as 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.)
    12 – 26 – 46 – 70; 20 – 34 – 54 – 78
  2. Below are given two sets of numbers. In each set of numbers, a certain mathematical operation on the first number results in the second number. Similarly, certain mathematical operations on the second number result in the third number and so on. Which of the given options follows the same set of operations as in the 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.)

    5 – 20 – 60 – 120
    8 – 32 – 96 – 192
  3. 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.
    (15, 7, 100)
    (25, 8, 195)

  4. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

    5-7-9
    11-13-15

    (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 / 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)
  5. Replace the question mark with an option that follows the same logic applied in the first pair.
