The logic followed here is :-

((First number + Third number) ÷ 2) - 1

  • (17, 26, 37) → ((17 + 37) ÷ 2 ) - 1 = (54 ÷ 2) - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26

and

  • (170, 197, 226) → ((170 + 226) ÷ 2) - 1 = (396 ÷ 2) - 1 = 198 - 1 = 197

Similarly,

  • (48, 63, 80) → ((48 + 80) ÷ 2) - 1 = (128 ÷ 2) - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63

Hence, the correct answer is "(48, 63, 80)".
