Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets.
(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)
(81, 53, 70)
(94, 66, 83)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (99, 71, 88).
Logic: 1st number - 28 = 2nd number; 2nd number + 17 = 3rd number
(81, 53, 70) ⇒ 81 - 28 = 53; 53 + 17 = 70
(94, 66, 83) ⇒ 94 - 28 = 66; 66 + 17 = 83
Similarly, (99, 71, 88) ⇒ 99 - 28 = 71; 71 + 17 = 88
