21. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets [S.S.C MTS 18/07/2022 (Morning)]

(8, 4, 1)

(12, 4, 5)

Correct Answer: (c) (17, 8, 6)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(b + c) + 3} = a 

(8, 4, 1) → {(4 + 1) + 3} ⇒ 5 + 3 = 8   

(12, 4, 5) → {(4 + 5) + 3} ⇒ 9 + 3 = 12

Similarly, 

(17, 8, 6) → {(8 + 6) + 3} ⇒ 14 + 3 = 17

Hence, "(17, 8, 6)" is the correct answer.

(16, 4, 8)

(12, 2, 12)

Correct Answer: (c) (28, 7, 8)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(b × c) ÷ 2} = a

(16, 4, 8) → {(4 × 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ 32 ÷ 2 = 16

(12, 2, 12) → {(2 × 12) ÷ 2} ⇒ 24 ÷ 2 = 12

Similarly,

(28, 7, 8) → {(7 × 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ 56 ÷ 2 = 28

Hence, "(28, 7, 8)" is the correct answer.
