Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in 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.)
(500, 450, 400)
(600, 550, 500)

Option 1: (300, 350, 250)

Option 2: (400, 350, 300)

Option 3: (350, 300, 200)

Option 4: (800, 750, 650)

Correct Answer: (400, 350, 300)


Solution : Given:
(500, 450, 400); (600, 550, 500)

Subtract 50 from the first and second numbers, to get the second and third numbers respectively –
(500, 450, 400)→500 – 50 = 450; 450 – 50 = 400
(600, 550, 500)→600 – 50 = 550; 550 – 50 = 500

Let's check the given options –
First option: (300, 350, 250)→ 300 – 50 = 250 ≠ 350; 350 – 50 = 300 ≠ 250
Second option: (400, 350, 300)→400 – 50 = 350; 350 – 50 = 300
Third option: (350, 300, 200)→350 – 50 = 300; 300 – 50 = 250 ≠ 200
Fourth option: (800, 750, 650)→800 – 50 = 750; 750 – 50 = 700 ≠ 650

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as the given number pair. Hence, the second option is correct.
