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)2−2=34;(7)2−2=47;(8)2−2=62 (6, 7, and 8 are the consecutive numbers.)
(119, 142, 167)
→ (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)2−2=23=27;(6)2−2=34=39;(7)2−2=47=51
(b) (48, 65, 82)
→ (7)2−2=47=48;(8)2−2=62=65;(9)2−2=79=82
(c) (64, 78, 99)
→ (8)2−2=62=64;(9)2−2=79=78;(10)2−2=98=99
(d) (79, 98, 119)
→ (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).
