(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13- Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
 
(12,14, 38) (6, 23, 35)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (16, 11, 43)

The logic used here is:

(12,14, 38) = 12 + 14 = 26, 26 + 12 = 38

(6, 23, 35) = 6 + 23 = 29, 29 + 6 = 35

Similarly,

(16, 11, 43) = 16 + 11 = 27, 27 + 16 = 43
