Question

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(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/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(41, 34, 24)
(63, 80, 23)

The correct answer is
(43, 40, 23)

To find the correct set, we must first identify the mathematical relationship between the numbers in the given sets: (41, 34, 24) and (63, 80, 23).

Analyzing the Given Sets

Let the numbers in the set be represented as $(a, b, c)$.

Set 1: (41, 34, 24)

The difference between the first and third numbers: $41 - 24 = 17$

Multiply the difference by 2: $17 \times 2 = 34$

This gives us the middle number: $b = 34$

Set 2: (63, 80, 23)

The difference between the first and third numbers: $63 - 23 = 40$

Multiply the difference by 2: $40 \times 2 = 80$

This gives us the middle number: $b = 80$

Logic Identified:

The relationship is: $(First\ Number - Third\ Number) \times 2 = Second\ Number$

Evaluating the Options

(46, 86, 24)

$46 - 24 = 22$

$22 \times 2 = 44$ (Does not match 86)

(43, 40, 23)

$43 - 23 = 20$

$20 \times 2 = 40$ (Matches the middle number!)

(17, 14, 11)

$17 - 11 = 6$

$6 \times 2 = 12$ (Does not match 14)

(17, 2, 19)

$17 - 19 = -2$

$-2 \times 2 = -4$ (Does not match 2)

The set that follows the same logic is (43, 40, 23).
