12, 8, 30 divisible by 6.
16, 24, 40 divisible by 8.

According to that,
45, 18 and 27 are divisible by 9.

So answer is 9.

Option: C

Explanation:
12,18,30 = 6(2,3,5).
16,24,40 = 8(2,3,5).
45,18,27 = 9(5,2,3).

Hence the HCF of the other numbers is the result.

18+12 = 30; 30/5 = 6. also 16+24 = 40;40/5 = 8.

So larger number divided by 5 is the answer.

So 45/5 = 9 is the answer.

6*2=12, 6*3=18,6*5=30 in the same way 8*2,8*3,8*5.

So last one 9*5=45,9*2=18,9*3=27 this also be the way of guessing the answer.
