The logic followed here is : (1st number × 2) = (2nd number - 3rd number)

Given :

  • (4, 13, 5)

4 × 2 = 13 - 5

8 = 8 (LHS = RHS)

  • (3, 12, 6)

3 × 2 = 12 - 6

6 = 6 (LHS = RHS)

So,

  • Option - (1) : (4, 10, 3)

​4 × 2 = 10 - 3

≠ 7 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (2) : (7, 16, 3)

​7 × 2 = 16 - 3

14 ≠ 13 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (3) : (5, 17, 6)

​5 × 2 = 17 - 6

10 ≠ 11 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (4) : (5, 17, 7)

5 × 2 = 17 - 7

10 = 10 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (4)" is the correct answer.
