(261, 54, 25) (270, 45, 15)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (288, 82, 50).

The logic used here is:

(261, 54, 25)

(54 - 25) × 9 

= 29 × 9 

= 261

(270, 45, 15)

(45 - 15) × 9 

 = 30 × 9 

= 270

Similarly,

(288, 82, 50)

(82 - 50) × 9 

= 32 × 9 

= 288

Hence, (288, 82, 50) is the correct answer.
