Select the option in which the numbers shares the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.

(73, 78, 93)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (145, 150, 165).

Understanding

The pattern is,

1st number + 5 = 2nd number

 1st number + 20 = 3rd number 

option 1 (29, 34, 39)

29 + 5 = 34

29 + 20 = 49 ≠ 39

Option 2 (23, 33, 38)

23 + 5 = 28 ≠ 33

23 + 20 = 43 ≠ 38

Option 3 (145, 150, 165)

145 + 5 = 150

145 + 20 = 165 = 165

Option 4 (67,72 ,82)

67 + 5 = 72

67 + 20 = 87 ≠ 82

Hence, option 3 i.e. (145, 150, 165) follows the pattern.
