(14, 60, 16)

(12, 40, 8)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (19, 80, 21).

Here the logic used : (First Number + Third Number ) × 2= Second Number 

⇒(14, 60, 16)

(14 + 16) × 2 = 30 × 2 = 60

⇒(12, 40, 8)

(12 + 8) × 2 = 20 × 2 = 40

Similarly, 

 (19, 80, 21)

(19 + 21 ) × 2 = 40 × 2 = 80

Hence, the correct answer is (19, 80, 21).
