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. For 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.)

(168, 35, 143) (182, 65, 127)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (142, 83, 69).

The logic used here is:

(168, 35, 143) 

168 - 35 = 133

133 + 10 = 143

(182, 65, 127)

182 - 65 = 117

117 + 10 = 143

Similarly,

(142, 83, 69)

142 - 83 = 59

59 + 10 = 69

Hence, (142, 83, 69) is the correct answer.
