Question Details

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


(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 /deleting /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.)

Correct Answer :

Option A

(58, 47, 36)

Solution :

The correct option is (58, 47, 36).

Step-by-step Explanation:

First, let us analyze the relationship between the numbers in the given sets:
1) (54, 51, 48)
2) (46, 40, 34)

Let the numbers in each set be represented as (A,B,C).

If we look at the difference between consecutive numbers in each set, we find that it is constant:

For the first set (54,51,48):

54-51=3

51-48=3

Both differences are equal to 3.

For the second set (46,40,34):

46-40=6

40-34=6

Both differences are equal to 6.

This means the pattern follows the rule:

A-B=B-C

Now, let us test the given options to see which set follows this same relationship:

Option 1: (58, 47, 36)

58-47=11

47-36=11

Since the difference is constant (11), this set follows the same pattern.

Option 2: (42, 45, 32)

42-45=-3

45-32=13

The differences are not equal.

Option 3: (50, 42, 28)

50-42=8

42-28=14

The differences are not equal.

Option 4: (48, 53, 38)

48-53=-5

53-38=15

The differences are not equal.

Therefore, the set with the same relationship is (58, 47, 36).
