(2, 5, 341) (1, 7, 510)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correce answer is Option 2 i.e, (1,2,25).

Logic : ( First Number + Second Number )3 - 2 = Third Number

(2, 5, 341)

= ( 2 + 5 )3 - 2 = 343 - 2 = 341

(1, 7, 510)

= (1 + 7)3 - 2 = 512 - 2 = 510

Similarly,  

(1,2,25)

= ( 1 + 2 )2 - 2 = 27 - 2 = 25

Hence, (1,2,25) is the correct answer.
