Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.
(73, 78, 93)
Option 1: (67, 72, 82)
Option 2: (29, 34, 39)
Option 3: (23, 33, 38)
Option 4: (145, 150, 165)
Correct Answer: (145, 150, 165)
Solution :
Given:
(73, 78, 93)
Add 5 to the first number to get the second number and add 15 to the second number to get the third number –
⇒ (73, 78, 93) → 73 + 5 = 78, 78 + 15 = 93
Let's check each option –
First option:
(67, 72, 82)→67 + 5 = 72; 72 + 15 = 87 ≠ 82
Second option:
(29, 34, 39)→29 + 5 = 34; 34 + 15 = 49 ≠ 39
Third option:
(23, 33, 38)→23 + 5 = 28 ≠ 33; 33 + 15 = 48 ≠ 38
Fourth option:
(145, 150, 165)→145 + 5 = 150; 150 + 15 = 165
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
