Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.
(34, 17, 27)
(42, 21, 31)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.

b) (54, 27, 37)
c) (46, 23, 35)
d) (64, 34, 54)
Solution :
Logic :
(34, 17, 27) => 34/2=17, 17+10=27
(42, 21, 31) => 42/2=21, 21+10=31
Now apply same logic to options:
a) (38, 16, 36) =>38/2=19 – Not following the logic/pattern
b) (54, 27, 37) =>54/2=27, 27+10=37 (Following same logic/pattern)
c) (46, 23, 35)
d) (64, 34, 54)
Correct Answer : b) (54, 27, 37)
