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 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)

(60, 17, 13)

Answer 1

The logic followed here is : 1st number = 2 × (2nd number + 3rd number)

Given :

60 = 2 × (17 + 13)

60 = 2 × 30

60 = 60 (LHS = RHS)

62 = 2 × (14 + 17)

62 = 2 × 31

62 = 62 (LHS = RHS)

So,

56 = 2 × (15 + 13)

56 = 2 × 28

56 = 56 (LHS = RHS)

43 = 2 × (9 + 12)

43 = 2 × 21

43 ≠ 42 (LHS ≠ RHS)

55 = 2 × (18 + 9)

55 = 2 × 27

55 ≠ 54 (LHS ≠ RHS)

57 = 2 × (15 + 14)

57 = 2 × 29

57 ≠ 58 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option - (1)" is the correct answer.
