(36, 6, 18)
(35, 5, 21)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (49, 7,21).

Here the logic is : Third Number = (First Number ÷ Second Number ) x 3

⇒(36, 6, 18)

36 ÷ 6 x 3 = 6 x 3 = 18 
⇒(35, 5, 21)

35 ÷ 5 x 3 = 7 x 3 = 21

Similarly,

(49, 7, 21)

49 ÷ 7 x 3 = 7 x 3 = 21

Hence, (49, 7, 21) is the correct answer.
