Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

In (36, 117, 24), the logic is: take the square of the sum of the digits of the first number + the square of the sum of the digits of the second number = middle number.
So, 
3 + 6 = 92 = 81
2 + 4 = 62 = 36
Now, 81 + 36 = 117.

A similar pattern is seen in (40, 41, 32);
4 + 0 = 42 = 16
3 + 2 = 52 = 25
Now, 16 + 25 = 41.

Hence, option B is correct.
