(9, 36, 12) (12, 48, 16)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e (21, 84, 28)

Logic: 1st number × 4 = 2nd number, 2nd number ÷ 3 = 3rd number

(9, 36, 12) ⇒ 9 × 4 = 36, 36 ÷ 3 = 12

(12, 48, 16) ⇒ 12 × 4 = 48, 48 ÷ 3 =16

Similarly, (21, 84, 28) ⇒ 21 × 4 = 84, 84 ÷ 3 = 28
