Select the triad in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given triads. (8, 9, 7), (24, 13, 35) (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 /deleting /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)
(17, 11, 23)
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (17, 11, 23).
Logic: (2nd number + 3rd number) ÷ 2 = 1st number.
(8, 9, 7) ⇒ (9 + 7) ÷ 2 ⇒ 16 ÷ 2 = 8
(24, 13, 35) ⇒ (13 + 35) ÷ 2 ⇒ 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Similarly, (17, 11, 23) ⇒ (11 + 23) ÷ 2 ⇒ 34 ÷ 2 = 17
