(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.)
(13, 64, 5)
(10, 1, 9)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (16, 49, 9).

The logic: (First number - Third number)2

(13, 64, 5) → (13 - 5)2 = 82 = 64

(10, 1, 9) → (10 - 9)2 = 12 =1

Similarly,

(16, 49, 9) → (16 - 9)2 = 72 = 49

Hence, the correct answer is (16, 49, 9).
