(9, 1, 19)

(5, 2, 14)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (3, 2, 10)

Logic : First Number × 2 + (Second Number)2 = Third Number

(9, 1, 19) = 9 × 2 + (1)2 = 18 + 1 = 19

(5, 2, 14) = 5 × 2 + (2)2 = 10 + 4 = 14

Similarly,

(3,2,10) = 3 × 2 + (2)2 = 6 + 4 = 10
