(47, 108, 169)
(22, 83, 144)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (51, 112, 173)

The logic: (Second number × 2) - First number = Third number.

(47, 108, 169) ⇒ (108 × 2) - 47 ⇒ 216  - 47 = 169.

(22, 83, 144) ⇒ (83 × 2) - 22 ⇒ 166 - 22 = 144.

Similarly,

(51, 112, 173) ⇒ (112 × 2) - 51 ⇒ 224 - 51 = 173.

Hence, the correct answer is (51, 112, 173).
