Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 110.

Logic: 1st number × 3 + 1st number ÷ 3 = 2nd number

18 is related to 60 → 18 × 3 + 18 ÷ 3 = 54 + 6 = 60

42 is related to 140 → 42 × 3 + 42 ÷ 3 = 126 + 14 = 140

Similarly, 33 is related → 33 × 3 + 33 ÷ 3 = 99 + 11 = 110
