(26, 62, 140)

(12, 39, 75)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (20, 48, 108).

Logic : (First number × 3) + Second number = Third number

(26, 62, 140) ⇒ (26 × 3) + 62 = 78 + 62 = 140

(12, 39, 75) ⇒ (12 × 3) + 39 = 36 + 39 = 75

Similarly,

(20, 48, 108) ⇒ (20 × 3) + 48 = 60 + 48 = 108

Hence, the correct answer is (20, 48, 108).
