The pattern followed here is:

Logic: Addition of given number = 85.

1) (21, 33, 31)

⇒ 21 + 33 + 31 = 85

2) (42, 17, 26)

⇒ 42 + 17 + 26 = 85

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) (36, 14, 35)

⇒ 36 + 14 + 35 = 85. (Correct)

Option 2) (46, 19, 24)

⇒ 46 + 19 + 24 = 89 ≠ 85. (Incorrect)

Option 3) (35, 27, 29)

⇒ 35 + 27 + 29 = 91 ≠ 85. (Incorrect)

Option 4) (33, 39, 20)

⇒ 33 + 39 + 20 = 92 ≠ 85. (Incorrect)

Hence, the correct answer is "(36, 14, 35)".
