(125, 87, 49), (236, 198, 160)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (277, 239, 201)

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

 ⇒(125, 87, 49)

(87 x 2) - 49 = 174 - 49 = 125

⇒(236, 198, 160)

(198 x 2 ) - 160 = 396 - 160 = 236

Similarly,

⇒(277, 239, 201)

( 239 x 2) - 201 = 478 - 201 = 277

Hence , (277, 239, 201) is the correct answer.
