Logic : (1st number + 2nd number) = (3rd number ÷ 3)

Given : 

  • (2, 7, 27)

2 + 7 = 27 ÷ 3

9 = 9 (LHS = RHS)

  • (6, 15, 63)

6 + 15 = 63 ÷ 3

21 = 21 (LHS = RHS)

So,

  • Option - (1) : (3, 21, 24) 

3 + 21 = 24 ÷ 3

24 ≠ 8 (LHS ≠ RHS)

  • Option - (2) : (9, 8, 50)

9 + 8 = 50 ÷ 3

17 ≠ 16.67 (LHS ≠ RHS) 

  • Option - (3) : (12, 4, 40) 

12 + 4 = 40 ÷ 3

16 ≠ 13.33 (LHS ≠ RHS) 

  • Option - (4) : (8, 8, 48)

8 + 8 = 48 ÷ 3

16 = 16 (LHS = RHS) 

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