Solution
The correct option is B3 The second number is a perfect cube. It could be 1,8,27,64,125 but, it cannot be 1 as it is the second number It cannot be 125 as the third number would be greater than 125 and then sum will become greater than 200 Therefore, the second number can be 8,27,64 Hence, option 'B' is correct.
