(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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.)

(6, 16, 8)
(5, 15, 9)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (3, 11, 11).

Logic : (Second number × 3) ÷ First number = Third number 

(6, 16, 8) ⇒ (16 × 3) ÷ 6 =  48 ÷ 6 = 8

(5, 15, 9) ⇒ (15 × 3) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9

Similarly,

(3, 11, 11) ⇒ (11 × 3) ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3 = 11

Hence, the correct answer is (3, 11, 11).
