(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/ subtracting /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.)

(82, 75, 66) (69, 62, 53)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (61, 54, 45).

The logic used here is:

(82, 75, 66)

82 - 75 = 7

75 - 66 = 9

(69, 62, 53)

69 - 62 = 7

62 - 53 = 9

Similarly,

(61, 54, 45)

61 - 54 = 7

54 - 45 = 9

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
