(12, 5, 29)
(19, 12, 50)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (15, 14, 44).

Logic : (Third number - Second number) ÷ 2 = First number

(12, 5, 29) ⇒ (29 - 5) ÷ 2 = 12 ⇒ 24 ÷ 2 = 12

(19, 12, 50) ⇒ (50 - 12) ÷ 2 = 19 ⇒ 38 ÷ 2 = 19

Similarly, (15, 14, 44) ⇒ (44 - 14) ÷ 2 = 15 ⇒ 30 ÷ 2 = 15
