Correct option is A
Given Triad: 198 – 297 – 594
198:
Sum of digits = 1 + 9 + 8 = 18
Sum of digits = 1 + 9 + 8 = 18
297:
Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 7 = 18
Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 7 = 18
594:
Sum of digits = 5 + 9 + 4 = 18
Sum of digits = 5 + 9 + 4 = 18
Logic: The sum of the digits for each number in this triad is 18.
Now, let's check the sum of digits for the options:
Option A: 369 – 576 – 747
369:
Sum of digits = 3 + 6 + 9 = 18
Sum of digits = 3 + 6 + 9 = 18
576:
Sum of digits = 5 + 7 + 6 = 18
Sum of digits = 5 + 7 + 6 = 18
747:
Sum of digits = 7 + 4 + 7 = 18
Sum of digits = 7 + 4 + 7 = 18
The sum of the digits for each number in this triad is 18.
Option B: 442 – 513 – 711
442:
Sum of digits = 4 + 4 + 2 = 10
Sum of digits = 4 + 4 + 2 = 10
513:
Sum of digits = 5 + 1 + 3 = 9
Sum of digits = 5 + 1 + 3 = 9
711:
Sum of digits = 7 + 1 + 1 = 9
Sum of digits = 7 + 1 + 1 = 9
The sum of the digits in this option is not 18.
Option C: 125 – 223 – 342
125:
Sum of digits = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8
Sum of digits = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8
223:
Sum of digits = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
Sum of digits = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
342:
Sum of digits = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
Sum of digits = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
The sum of the digits in this option is not 18.
Option D: 488 – 364 – 299
488:
Sum of digits = 4 + 8 + 8 = 20
Sum of digits = 4 + 8 + 8 = 20
364:
Sum of digits = 3 + 6 + 4 = 13
Sum of digits = 3 + 6 + 4 = 13
299:
Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 9 = 20
Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 9 = 20
The sum of the digits in this option is not 18.
Thus, correct option is (a)
