Question:

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets:

(7, 11, 72)

(5, 8, 39)

(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)

Options:

(4, 7, 33)

(2, 3, 1)

(5, 2, 23)

(5, 6, 13)

Correct Answer:

(4, 7, 33)

Explanation:

(7, 11, 72)

(5, 8, 39)

The logic followed here is :

(IInd number)2 - (Ist number)2 = IIIrd number

As

112 - 72 = 72

  82 - 52 = 39

Same as in option 1

  72 - 42 = 33
