(36, 25, 49)

(81, 36, 9)

(16, 20, 25)

(64, 36, 100)

- The original set (4, 12, 16) consists of numbers that are all perfect squares:

4 = 2², 12 is not a perfect square, 16 = 4².

- Let's review the options:

1. (36, 25, 49) - All are perfect squares (6², 5², 7²).

2. (81, 36, 9) - All are perfect squares as well (9², 6², 3²).

3. (16, 20, 25) - 16 = 4², 25 = 5², but 20 is not a perfect square.

4. (64, 36, 100) - 64 = 8², 36 = 6², 100 = 10². All perfect squares.

- In the original set, only two numbers are perfect squares (4 and 16).

- Thus, option 3 is similar: (16, 20, 25) – only two perfect squares (16 and 25).

- Options 1, 2, and 4 all have three perfect squares.

- Correct Answer:

Option 3 (16, 20, 25)
