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).

(17, 24, 58)

(26, 37, 89)

Options:

(15, 17, 47)

(41, 39, 125)

(10, 20, 44)

(21, 38, 96)

Correct Answer:

(15, 17, 47)

Explanation:

(17, 24, 58)

(26, 37, 89)

The logic followed here is :

(IIIrd number - second number) ÷ 2 = Ist number

same as

(58 - 24) ÷ 2 = 17

(37- 26) ÷ 2 = 26

Therefore (15, 17, 47)

(47- 27) ÷ 2 = 15
