    Solution

    The logic followed in the given series is: (First term x 3) – (Second term ÷ 2) = Third term First row: 59, 66, 144 (59 x 3) – (66 ÷ 2) = 144 177 – 33 = 144 144 = 144 Second row: 37, 58, 82 (37 x 3) – (58 ÷ 2) = 82 111 – 29 = 82 82 = 82 Third row: 46, 26, ? (46 x 3) – (26 ÷ 2) = ? 138 + 13 = ? ? = 125 Hence, the correct answer is (A).
