(16, 20, 80)

(12, 16, 64)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (18, 22, 88).

Logic: 1st number + 4 = 2nd number; 2nd number × 4 = 3rd number.

(16, 20, 80) ⇒ 16 + 4 = 20; 20 × 4 = 80

(12, 16, 64) ⇒ 12 + 4 = 16; 16 × 4 = 64

Similarly, (18, 22, 88) ⇒ 18 + 4 = 22; 22 × 4 = 88
