(28, 65, 261)
(37, 83, 342)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (46, 92, 414).

Logic: (Third number - Second number) ÷ 7 = First number

(28, 65, 261) → (261 - 65) ÷ 7 = 196 ÷ 7 = 28

(37, 83, 342) → (342 - 83) ÷ 7 = 259 ÷ 7 = 37

Similarly, (46, 92, 414) → (414 - 92) ÷ 7 = 322 ÷ 7 = 46
