Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(9, 26, 53) (8, 23, 47)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (5, 14, 29).
The logic used here is:
(9, 26, 53)
9 × 3 - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26
26 × 2 + 1 = 52 + 1 = 53
(8, 23, 47)
8 × 3 - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23
23 × 2 + 1 = 46 + 1 = 47
Option 1: (5, 14, 29)
5 × 3 - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14
14 × 2 + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29
Hence, (5, 14, 29) is the correct answer.
