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

So,

  • Option - (1) : (16 – 20 – 24)

​20 - 16 = 24 - 20

4 = 4 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (2) : (23 – 27 –31)

​27 - 23 = 31 - 27

4 = 4 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (3) : (11 – 15 – 19)

​15 - 11 = 19 - 15

4 = 4 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (4) : (12 – 14 – 18)

​14 - 12 = 18 - 14

2 4 (LHS RHS)

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