Understanding

Logic:

The middle number is the third multiple of the number obtained by adding 1st and 3rd numbers.

(6, 39, 7)

Here, 

6 + 7 = 13

13 × 3 = 39

Option 1:

(9, 36, 14)

9 + 14 = 23

23 × 3 = 69

Option 2:

(3, 75, 11)

3 + 11 = 14

14 × 3 = 42

Option 3: 

(10, 71, 11)

10 + 11 = 21

21 × 3 = 63

Option 4: 

(8, 60, 12)

8 + 12 = 20

20 × 3 = 60

Hence, the correct answer is (8, 60, 12).
