(23, 6, 35) (13, 5, 23)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e.  (25, 8, 41)

Logic :  (Third Number - First Number) ÷ 2 = Second Number

(23, 6, 35)

= ( 35 - 23) ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6

(13, 5, 23) 

= ( 23 - 13) ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Similarly,

(25, 8, 41)

=( 41 - 25) ÷ 2 = 16 ÷ 2 = 8

Hence, (25, 8, 41) is the correct answer.
