Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.
(79, 58, 62)
(54, 33, 37)
(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.)

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To identify the correct set, we must first determine the pattern connecting the numbers in the given examples: (79, 58, 62) and (54, 33, 37).
Pattern Analysis
Let's look at the relationship between the numbers in each set:
First set (79, 58, 62):
79 - 58 = 21
62 - 58 = 4
Second set (54, 33, 37):
54 - 33 = 21
37 - 33 = 4
The established pattern is:
The second number is obtained by subtracting 21 from the first number.
The third number is obtained by adding 4 to the second number.
