(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(4, 25, 6)
(3, 28, 9)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (2, 17, 8).

The logic: (First number × Third number) + 1 = Second number

(4, 25, 6) → (4 × 6) + 1 = 24 + 1 = 25

(3, 28, 9) → (3 × 9) + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28

Similarly,

(2, 17, 8) → (2 × 8) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Hence, the correct answer is (2, 17, 8).
