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

(132, 99, 165)

(110, 79, 127)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (103, 58, 71)

Understanding

(x, y, z)

y = (x + z)/3

(132, 99, 165)

Here,

(132 + 165)/3 = 297/3 = 99

Check all options one by one:

(125, 65, 120)

125 + 120 = 245/3 = 81.67 is not equal to 65.

(65, 50, 90)

65 + 90 = 155/3 = 51.6 is not equal to 50.

(55, 70, 90)

55 + 90 = 145/3 = 48.33 is not equal to 70.

(103, 58, 71)

(103 + 71)/3 = 174/3 = 58

58 = 58

Hence, 58 is the correct answer.
