(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. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

12 : 92  :8

16 : 92 : 6

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 9 : 122 : 14.

Logic: 2nd no. = [(1st no. × 3rd no.) - 4]

12 : 92 : 8 → ​[(12 × 8) - 4] ​→ (96 - 4) = 92

16 : 92 : 6 → [(16 × 6) - 4] → (96 - 4) = 92

Similarly, 9 : 122 : 14 → [(9 × 14) - 4] → (126 - 4) = 122
