The logic followed in the given series is:
First term - Second term = Third term ÷ 3

Now we apply the logic on the given sets:
(57, 24, 99)
57 - 24 = 99 ÷ 3
57 - 24 = 33
33 = 33

(41, 18, 69)
41 - 18 = 69 ÷ 3
41 - 18 = 23
23 = 23

Now we apply the pattern to the given options:
Option 1) (49, 25, 72)
49 - 25 = 72
 ÷ 3
49 - 25 = 24
24 = 24

Option 2) (45, 16, 65)
45 - 16 = 65
 ÷ 3
45 - 16 = 21.6
29  21.6

Option 3) (68, 37, 88)
68 - 37 = 88
 ÷ 3
68 - 37 = 29.3
31  29.3

Option 4) (53, 21, 94)
53 - 21 = 
94 ÷ 3
53 - 21 = 31.3
32  31.3

Hence the correct answer is option 1).
