The logic followed here is:

Logic: (First number)2 - (Second number ÷ 2)3 = Third number

  • (12, 8, 80) → 122 - (8 ÷ 2)3 = 144 - 43 = 144 - 64 = 80
  • (16, 10, 131) → 162 - (10 ÷ 2)3 = 256 - 53 = 256 - 125 = 131

Similarly,

  • (9, 6, 54) → 92 - (6 ÷ 2)3 = 81 - 33 = 81 - 27 = 54

Hence, '(9, 6, 54)' is the correct answer.
