Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following 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/substracting/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.)
(3, 10, 26)
(4, 17, 42)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (6, 37, 86).
Logic : (First number + Second number) = (Third number ÷ 2)
As given,
(3, 10, 26)
⇒ 3 + 10 = 26 ÷ 2
⇒ 13 = 13 (LHS = RHS)
(4, 17, 42)
⇒ 4 - 17 = 42 ÷ 2
⇒ 21 = 21 (LHS = RHS)
Similarly,
(6, 37, 86)
⇒ 6 + 37 = 86 ÷ 2
⇒ 43 = 43 (LHS = RHS)
Hence, the correct answer is (6, 37, 86).
