Question

    Select the option in which the numbers share the same

    relationship as that shared by the number in the set given below.   (19, 42, 28) (11, 39, 33)
    A (25, 37, 19) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (21, 43, 28) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (20, 58, 43) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (23, 55, 36) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is: (2nd number – 1st number) + 5 = 3rd number   (19, 42, 28) → (42 – 19) + 5 = 23 + 5 = 28 (11, 39, 33) → (39 – 11) + 5 = 28 + 5 = 33   By checking options, (25, 37, 19) → (37 – 25) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 ≠ 19   (21, 43, 28) → (43 – 21) + 5 = 22 + 5 = 27 ≠ 28   (20, 58, 43) → (58 – 20) + 5 = 38 + 5 = 43   (23, 55, 36) → (55 – 23) + 5 = 32 + 5 = 37 ≠ 36 Hence, correct answer is (C).
