Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
First row: 17, 26, 60 Second row: 8, 15, 31 Third row: 11, 19, ?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the number into its constituent digits. For example, 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
Explanation:
For each row, 3rd number = 2 × 1st number + 2nd number.
60 = 2 × 17 + 25 31 = 2 × 8 + 15 ? = 2 × 11 + 19 = 41
Hence, option (b).
