Options:

(10 - 30 - 90)

(15 - 45 - 135)

(22 - 66 - 198)

Correct Answer:

(17 - 51 -147)

Explanation:

(17 - 51 -147)

= 17 × 3 = 51 and 51 × 3 = 153 but 147 is given which is odd

(10 - 30 - 90)

= 10 × 3 = 30 and 30 × 3 = 90

(15 - 45 - 135)

= 15 × 3 = 45 and 45 × 3 = 135

(22 - 66 - 198)

= 22 × 3 = 66 and 66 × 3 = 198
