(7 - 20 - 3)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6 - 16 - 2.

Logic Used: (First Number + Third Number) × 2 = Second Number

⇒ 4 - 18 - 5 → (4 + 5) × 2 = 9 × 2 = 18

⇒ 7 - 20 - 3 → (7 + 3) × 2 = 10 × 2 = 20

Similarly, For Option 2

⇒ 6 - 16 - 2 → (6 + 2) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16
