The logic followed here is : 

  1. 3rd number × 2 = 2nd number
  2. 2nd number × 2 = 1st number

So,

  • Option - (1) : (600 – 300 –150)

​150 × 2 = 300

300 = 300 (LHS = RHS)

And,

300 × 2 = 600

600 = 600 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (2) : (400 –200 –50)

​50 × 2 = 200

100 200 (LHS RHS)

And,

200 × 2 = 400

400 = 400 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (3) : (1000 –500 –250)

​250 × 2 = 500

500 = 500 (LHS = RHS)

And,

500 × 2 = 1000

1000 = 1000 (LHS = RHS)

  • Option - (4) : (200–100 –50)

​50 × 2 = 100

100 = 100 (LHS = RHS)

And,

100 × 2 = 200

200 = 200 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option - (2)" is the correct answer.
