Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the given sets (11, 33, 17) and (18, 44, 21):
   - Check if the second number equals the sum of the first and third numbers plus 5.
   - For (11, 33, 17): 11 + 17 = 28; 28 + 5 = 33 ✔
   - For (18, 44, 21): 18 + 21 = 39; 39 + 5 = 44 ✔

2. Apply this relationship to the options:
   - (12, 40, 18): 12 + 18 = 30; 30 + 5 = 35 ≠ 40 ✘
   - (7, 32, 9): 7 + 9 = 16; 16 + 5 = 21 ≠ 32 ✘
   - (16, 43, 22): 16 + 22 = 38; 38 + 5 = 43 ✔
   - (15, 34, 19): 15 + 19 = 34; 34 + 5 = 39 ≠ 34 ✘

**Answer:** The set (16, 43, 22) follows the same relationship.
