(54, 32, 66)
(49, 31, 54)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (39, 18, 63).

Here the Logic is : Third Number = ( First Number - Second Number ) x 3

⇒(54, 32, 66)

54 - 32 x 3 = 22 x 3 = 66

⇒(49, 31, 54)

49 - 31 x 3 = 18 x 3 = 54

Similarly,

For (39, 18, 63)

39 - 18 x 3 = 21 x 3 = 63

Hence, (39, 18, 63) is the correct answer.
