(12, 40, 14)
(15, 33, 9)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (21, 91, 35).

The Logic here used : Second Number = (Third Number x 2 ) + First Number

(12, 40, 14)

⇒14 x 2 + 12 = 28 + 12 = 40

(15, 33, 9)

⇒ 9 x 2 + 15 = 18 + 15 = 33

Similarly, 

(21, 91, 35)

⇒ 35 x 2 + 21 = 70 + 21 = 91

Hence, (21, 91, 35) is the correct answer.
