Correct Answer: (4, 3, 61)
Solution :
Given:
(4, 11, 137); (3, 12, 153)
Here, (4, 11, 137)→(4)
2
+ (11)
2
= 16 + 121 = 137
(3, 12, 153)→(3)
2
+ (12)
2
= 9 + 144 = 153
Let's check the options –
First option:
(7, 8, 113)→(7)
2
+ (8)
2
= 49 + 64 = 113
Second option:
(13, 14, 365)→(13)
2
+ (14)
2
= 169 + 196 = 365
Third option:
(9, 11, 202)→(9)
2
+ (11)
2
= 81 + 121 = 202
Fourth option:
(4, 3, 61)→(4)
2
+ (3)
2
= 16 + 9 = 25 ≠ 61
So, only the fourth option does not follow the pattern. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
