Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 114.

The logic followed is:

Logic: (First No. × 3) + Second No. = Third No.

First row - 14, 42, 84 → 

(14 × 3) + 42 = 84

Second row - 28, 84, 168 → 

(28 × 3) + 84 = 168

Third row - 19, 57, ?  →

(19 × 3) + 57 = 114

Hence, 114 is the correct answer.
