Select the odd group of numbers. (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)

Answer 1

The logic followed here is : (1st number × 2) + 2nd number = 3rd number

So,

(14 × 2) + 28 = 42

28 + 28 = 42

52 ≠ 42 (LHS ≠ RHS)

(16 × 2) + 32 = 64

32 + 32 = 64

64 = 64 (LHS = RHS)

(18 × 2) + 36 = 72

36 + 36 = 72

72 = 72 (LHS = RHS)

(12 × 2) + 24 = 48

24 + 24 = 48

48 = 48 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (1)" is the correct answer.
