(27, 21, 16 ) (24, 33, 19)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (36, 15, 17)​​​​​​.

(27, 21, 16 )

27 + 21 = 48

48 ÷ 3 = 16

(24, 33, 19)

24 + 33 = 57

57 ÷ 3 = 19

Similarly; (36, 15, 17)

36 + 15 = 51

51 ÷ 3 = 17

Hence, (36, 15, 17) is the correct answer.
