(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.)

(12, 8, 20)
(7, 3, 15)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (9, 4, 19).

Logic: First number × 3 - Second number × 2 =  Third Number

(12, 8, 20) → 12 × 3 - 8 × 2 = 36 - 16 = 20

(7, 3, 15) →  7 × 3 - 3 × 2 = 21 - 6 = 15

Similarly, (9, 4, 19) →  9 × 3 - 4 × 2 = 27 - 8 = 19
