Question

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets.
(34, 47, 62)
(119, 142, 167)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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)

A.

(27, 39, 51)

B.

(48, 65, 82)

C.

(64, 78, 99)

D.

(79, 98, 119)

Correct option is D

Logic: Subtract 2 from the squares of the consecutive numbers to get the numbers in the given sets.
(34, 47, 62)  (6)22=34;(7)22=47;(8)22=62\rightarrow \ (6)^2 - 2 = 34; (7)^2 - 2 = 47; (8)^2 - 2 = 62​ (6, 7, and 8 are the consecutive numbers.)
(119, 142, 167)  (11)22=119;(12)22=142;(13)22=167\rightarrow \ (11)^2 - 2 = 119; (12)^2 - 2 = 142; (13)^2 - 2 = 167​ (11, 12, and 13 are the consecutive numbers.)​​
Explanation:
(a) (27, 38, 51) ​ (5)22=2327;(6)22=3439;(7)22=4751\rightarrow \ (5)^2 - 2 = 23 \neq 27; (6)^2 - 2 = 34 \neq 39; (7)^2 - 2 = 47 \neq 51​​​
(b) (48, 65, 82)  (7)22=4748;(8)22=6265;(9)22=7982\rightarrow \ (7)^2 - 2 = 47 \neq 48; (8)^2 - 2 = 62 \neq 65; (9)^2 - 2 = 79 \neq 82​​​
(c) (64, 78, 99)  (8)22=6264;(9)22=7978;(10)22=9899\rightarrow \ (8)^2 - 2 = 62 \neq 64; (9)^2 - 2 = 79 \neq 78; (10)^2 - 2 = 98 \neq 99​​​
(d) (79, 98, 119)  (9)22=79;(10)22=98;(11)22=119\rightarrow \ (9)^2 - 2 = 79; (10)^2 - 2 = 98; (11)^2 - 2 = 119​​​
Thus, only option (d) follows the same logic.
Thus, the correct option is (d).
