(7, 2, 70)

(6, 4, 120)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (3, 8, 120)

Logic: (Third Number ÷ First Number)÷ 5 = Second Number

(7, 2, 70) = (70 ÷ 7) ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5 = 2

(6, 4, 120) = (120 ÷ 6) ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Similarly, 

(3, 8, 120) = (120 ÷ 3) ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
