Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 14
In each set, the two upper numbers are added, 1 is taken away, and the result is divided by 6 to give the lower number:
First set: \((40+39-1)\div6=78\div6=13\)
Second set: \((32+35-1)\div6=66\div6=11\)
Third set: \((26+59-1)\div6=84\div6=14\)
