The logic here is: The 3rd term is divided by the 2nd term. This double of this answer is the number of 1st term.

So, (24, 8, 96) = 96  8 = 12, 12 + 12 = 24

And, (36, 4, 72) = 72  4 = 18, 18 + 18 = 36

First, we will check all the options as below:

1) (12, 6, 36) = 36  6 = 6,  6 + 6 = 12

2) (30, 4, 40) = 40  4 = 10, 10 + 10 = 20 30.

3) (28, 8, 104) = 104  8 = 13, 13 + 13 = 26  28

4) (16, 2, 18) = 18  2 = 9, 9 + 9 = 18  16 

Hence, the number pair '(12, 6, 36)' is the related with the same pattern used.
