Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.

7 — 14 — 23

4 — 11 — 20

NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/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.

The correct answer is

5 — 12 — 21

To solve this problem, we need to identify the relationship between the numbers in the given set and then find the set from the options that follows the same relationship.

The given set is:

7 — 14 — 23

Let's find out the relationship:

  1. Calculate the difference between the second and first numbers: 14 - 7 = 7.
  2. Calculate the difference between the third and second numbers: 23 - 14 = 9.

The differences are 7 and 9.

Now, let's check the options to find a set with the same difference.

Option 1: 7 — 15 — 22

  1. Calculate the difference: 15 - 7 = 8.
  2. Calculate the difference: 22 - 15 = 7.

The differences are 8 and 7. This does not match.

Option 2: 5 — 12 — 21

  1. Calculate the difference: 12 - 5 = 7.
  2. Calculate the difference: 21 - 12 = 9.

The differences are 7 and 9. This matches the given set.

Option 3: 9 — 12 — 22

  1. Calculate the difference: 12 - 9 = 3.
  2. Calculate the difference: 22 - 12 = 10.

The differences are 3 and 10. This does not match.

Option 4: 15 — 30 — 20

  1. Calculate the difference: 30 - 15 = 15.
  2. Calculate the difference: 20 - 30 = -10.

The differences are 15 and -10. This does not match.

Therefore, the correct answer is the set:

5 — 12 — 21

This option has the same differences as the original set (i.e., 7 and 9).
