Correct Answer: 279


Solution : Given:
a = 12(390)8; b = 7(134)5; c = 5(?)12

Square the sum of the first and third numbers and then subtract 10 from the resultant, to obtain the middle number –
Here, a = 12(390)8→(12 + 8)2 – 10 = (20)2 – 10 = 400 – 10 = 390
b = 7(134)5→(7 + 5)2 – 10 = (12)2 – 10 = 144 – 10 = 134
c = 5(?)12→(5 + 12)2 – 10 = (17)2 – 10 = 289 – 10 = 279

So, 279 is the required missing term. Hence, the third option is correct.
