(50, 60, 2000)

(20, 30, 200)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (21, 11, 11).

Logic : (First number - 10) × (Second number - 10) = Third number

(50, 60, 2000) ⇒ (50 - 10) × (60 - 10) = 40 × 50 = 2000

(20, 30, 200) ⇒ (20 - 10) × (30 - 10) = 10 × 20 = 200

Similarly,

(21, 11, 11) ⇒ (21 - 10) × (11 - 10) = 11 × 1 = 11

Hence, the correct answer is (21, 11, 11).
