Question : Directions: 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.)
(53, 36, 25)
(71, 54, 43)

Option 1: (41, 23, 18)

Option 2: (99, 82, 71)

Option 3: (66, 53, 41)

Option 4: (32, 14, 7)

Correct Answer: (99, 82, 71)


Solution : Given:
(53, 36, 25); (71, 54, 43)

In the above-given set of numbers, divide the sum of the first and third numbers by 2 and subtract 3 from the resultant to get the second number –
⇒(53, 36, 25)→{(53 + 25) ÷ 2} – 3 = {78 ÷ 2} – 3 = 39 – 3 = 36
⇒(71, 54, 43)→{(71 + 43) ÷ 2} – 3 = {114 ÷ 2} – 3 = 57 – 3 = 54
Let's check each option –

First option: (41, 23, 18)→{(41 + 18) ÷ 2} – 3 = {59 ÷ 2} – 3 = 29.5 – 3 = 26.5 ≠ 23
Second option: (99, 82, 71)→{(99 + 71) ÷ 2} – 3 = {170 ÷ 2} – 3 = 85 – 3 = 82
Third option: (66, 53, 41)→{(66 + 41) ÷ 2} – 3 = {107 ÷ 2} – 3 = 53.5 – 3 = 50.5 ≠ 53
Fourth option: (32, 14, 7)→{(32 + 7) ÷ 2} – 3 = {39 ÷ 2} – 3 = 19.5 – 3 = 16.5 ≠ 14

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
