Understanding Number Analogies and Set Relations

This question asks us to identify a numerical set that shares the same relationship between its numbers as the two given sets. The given sets are (60, 5, 6) and (48, 8, 3). We are instructed to perform operations on the whole numbers without breaking them down into constituent digits.

Analyzing the Relationship in the Given Sets

Let's examine the first set (60, 5, 6). We need to find how 60 relates to 5 and 6.

Let's examine the second set (48, 8, 3). We need to find how 48 relates to 8 and 3.

We look for a consistent mathematical operation or combination of operations that connects the three numbers in both sets.

Step-by-Step Pattern Discovery

Consider the first set (60, 5, 6):

  • Could the first number be related to the product of the other two? $5 \times 6 = 30$. How does 30 relate to 60? $30 \times 2 = 60$.

Let's test this potential pattern on the second set (48, 8, 3):

  • Consider the product of the second and third numbers: $8 \times 3 = 24$.
  • Apply the 'multiply by 2' step: $24 \times 2 = 48$.

This matches the first number in the second set (48). The pattern seems to be consistent across both given sets.

Derived Relationship Pattern

The relationship found is: The first number is equal to the product of the second and third numbers, multiplied by 2.

In mathematical terms, if the set is (A, B, C), the pattern is $A = (B \times C) \times 2$.

Checking Options Based on the Pattern

Now, we will apply this relationship pattern to each of the given options to find the set that follows the same rule.

Option Set Second Number (B) Third Number (C) Calculation: $(B \times C) \times 2$ First Number (A) Does it Match?
(17, 3, 4) 3 4 $(3 \times 4) \times 2 = 12 \times 2 = 24$ 17 No ($24 \neq 17$)
(25, 4, 6) 4 6 $(4 \times 6) \times 2 = 24 \times 2 = 48$ 25 No ($48 \neq 25$)
(24, 4, 3) 4 3 $(4 \times 3) \times 2 = 12 \times 2 = 24$ 24 Yes ($24 = 24$)
(25, 4, 3) 4 3 $(4 \times 3) \times 2 = 12 \times 2 = 24$ 25 No ($24 \neq 25$)

Based on the analysis, the set (24, 4, 3) is the only option that satisfies the relationship pattern found in the given sets: The first number (24) is equal to the product of the second (4) and third (3) numbers, multiplied by 2 ($ (4 \times 3) \times 2 = 12 \times 2 = 24 $).

Conclusion

The set (24, 4, 3) is related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets (60, 5, 6) and (48, 8, 3).

Revision Table: Key Concepts in Number Sets

Concept Description Application in this Problem
Number Analogy Finding a relationship or pattern between numbers in a set or across different sets. Identifying the mathematical rule connecting the three numbers in the given sets.
Set Relation The specific rule or formula that describes how the elements within a set are connected. The pattern $A = (B \times C) \times 2$ found for sets (A, B, C).
Pattern Recognition The ability to identify recurring sequences or relationships. Crucial for solving number analogy and set relation problems.

Additional Information: Tips for Solving Number Analogy Problems

Solving number analogy problems involves logical reasoning and mathematical skills. Here are some tips:

  • Analyze the Given Sets Carefully: Look for relationships involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squares, cubes, etc.
  • Test Simple Operations First: Start with basic arithmetic operations between the numbers.
  • Look for Relationships Between Positions: How does the first number relate to the second and third? How does the second relate to the first and third?
  • Consider Two-Step Operations: Sometimes the pattern involves a combination of operations (e.g., multiply and then add, divide and then square).
  • Check for Consistency: The identified pattern must work for all the example sets provided in the question.
  • Systematically Check Options: Once a pattern is found, apply it rigorously to each option to see which one fits.

Practicing different types of number analogy questions helps improve pattern recognition skills.
