Question

    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 its 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) (82, 60, 104) (59, 46, 72)
    A (71, 54, 88) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (35, 23, 45) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (51, 30, 72) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (66, 50, 82) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The average of the 2nd and 3rd number equals the 1st number.
    (82, 60, 104) → (60 + 104) / 2 = 82

    (59, 46, 72) → (46 + 72)/2 = 59

    Now, checking the options:

    Option A → (71, 54, 88)) → (54 + 88) / 2 = 71

    Option B → (35, 23, 45) → (23 + 45)/2 = 34

    Option C → (51, 30, 72) → (30 + 72)/2 = 51

    Option D → (66, 50, 82) → (50 + 82)/2 = 66
