(8, 388, 18)

(11, 137, 4)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (14, 221, 5).

 

The logic used here is:

Second number = ( First Number)2 + (Second Number)2

Given,

(8, 388, 18)

⇒ 82 + 182 = 64 + 324 = 388

(11, 137, 4)

⇒ 112 + 42 = 121 + 16 = 137

Similarly,

(14, 221, 5)

⇒ 142 + 52 = 196 + 25 = 221

Hence, the correct answer is (14, 221, 5).
