(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E. G., 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying, etc. 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

9 : 32 : 7

11 : 96 : 5

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6 : 27 : 3

Logic Used: (First Number)2 - (Third Number)2 = Second Number

⇒9 : 32 : 7 → (9)2 - (7)2 = 81 - 49 = 32

⇒11 : 96 : 5 → (11)2 - (5)2 = 121 - 25 = 96

Option 2 follows the same logic 

⇒6 : 27 : 3 → (6)2 - (3)2 = 36 - 9 = 27.
