(14, 98, 14)

(16, 144, 18)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (22, 132, 12).

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

(14, 98, 14) ⇒ 14 ÷ 2 × 14 = 7 × 14 = 98

(16, 144, 18) ⇒ 16 ÷ 2 × 18 = 8 × 18 = 144

(22, 132, 12) ⇒ 22 ÷ 2 × 12 = 11 × 12 = 132
