select the option in which the numbers shares the same relationship in 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 its constituent digits .E.g. 13 - Operation 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)
( 79, 89, 101)
( 31, 41, 47 )
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The pattern followed here is;
(79, 89, 101)
= There is one prime number between every sets;
So, (79, 83, 89, 97, 101
( 31, 41, 47 )
= There is one prime number between every sets;
So, ( 31, 37, 41, 43, 47)
Option 01= ( 43, 47, 59)
-> There should be one prime number between every sets;
So, (43, 47, 53, 59) (WRONG)
Option 02= ( 53, 61, 67)
-> There should be one prime number between every sets;
So, (53, 59, 61, 67) (WRONG)
Option 03= ( 29, 37, 43)
-> There should be one prime number between every sets;
So, (29, 31, 37, 41, 43) (CORRECT, because There is one prime number between every sets)
