(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(19, 64, 11)
(27, 169, 14)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (22, 121, 11)

The logic is followed as

(19, 64, 11) = 19 - 11 = 8 = (8)2 = 64

(27, 169, 14) = 27 - 14 = 13 = (13)2 = 169

Checking options

1. (23, 110, 12) = 23 - 12 = 11 = (11)2 = 121 not 110

2. (20, 200, 8)  = 20 - 8 = 12 = (12)2 = 144 not 200

3. (24, 99, 15) = 24 - 15 = 9 = (9)2 = 81 not 99

4. (22, 121, 11) = 22 - 11 = 11 = (11)2 = 121 (it follows)

Hence, the correct answer is (22, 121, 11)
