    A 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 73 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 83 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed in the given series is: (First term ÷ 3) + (Second term ÷ 2) = Third term  First row: 84, 42, 49 (84 ÷ 3) + (42÷ 2) = 49 28 + 21 = 49 49 = 49 Second row: 72, 58, 53 (72 ÷ 3) + (58 ÷ 2) = 53 24 + 29 = 53 53 = 53 Third row: 105, 96, ? (105 ÷ 3) + (96 ÷ 2) = ? 35 + 48 = ? ? = 83 Hence, the correct answer is (C).
