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

{22, 17, 31}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. {31, 26, 40}.

Understanding

The logic used here is:

{22, 17, 31}

22 - 17 = 5

31 - 17 = 14

Option 1:  {16, 9, 25}

16 - 9 = 7

25 - 9 = 16

This does not follow the logic.

Option 2: {31, 26, 40}

31 - 26 = 5

40 - 26 = 14 

This follows the logic.

So, there is no need of checking further options.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
