(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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)

(2, 114, 19) (12, 216, 6)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (6, 144, 8)

The logic used here is:

(2, 114, 19) = 114 ÷ 2 = 57, 57 ÷ 3 = 19

(12, 216, 6) = 216 ÷ 12 = 18, 18 ÷ 3 = 6 

Similarly,

(6, 144, 8) = 144 ÷ 6 = 24, 24 ÷ 3 = 8
