Answer 1

The pattern followed here is:

Logic: (First number ÷ 5) = Second number & (Second number ÷ 5) = Third number.

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) (600 - 120 - 24)

⇒ (600 ÷ 5) = 120

⇒ (120 ÷ 5) = 24 (Correct)

Option 2) (400 - 80 - 14)

⇒ (400 ÷ 5) = 80

⇒ (80 ÷ 5) = 16 ≠ 14 (Incorrect)

Option 3) (300 - 60 - 12)

⇒ (300 ÷ 5) = 60

⇒ (60 ÷ 5) = 12. (Correct)

Option 4) (500 - 100 - 20)

⇒ (500 ÷ 5) = 100

⇒ (100 ÷ 5) = 20. (Correct)

Hence, the correct answer is "(400 - 80 - 14)".
