(5, 4, 405)

(7, 3, 500)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (4, 1, 125)

Logic used : ( First number + Second Number )2 x 5 = Third Number

⇒(5, 4, 405)

( 5 + 4 )2 x 5 = 81 x 5 = 405

⇒(7, 3, 500)

( 7 + 3)2 x 5 = 100 x 5 = 500

Similarly,

⇒(4, 1, 125)

( 4 + 1)2 x 5 = 25 x 5 = 125

Hence, (4, 1, 125) is the correct answer.
