The logic that follows here is shown below:

(2nd number - 1st number)2 = 3rd number 

(2, 8, 36) 

⇒(8 - 2)2=36

⇒62=36

⇒36=36

(4, 9, 25)

⇒(9 - 4)2=25

⇒52=25

⇒25=25

By, checking the options

1. (14, 18, 9)

⇒(18 - 14)2 = 9

⇒42 = 9

⇒16 ≠ 9

2. (13, 20, 49)

⇒(20 - 13)2 = 49

⇒7= 49

⇒49 = 49

3. (21, 15, 35)

⇒(15 - 21)= 35

⇒(-6)2 = 35

⇒36 ≠ 35

4. (12, 14, 26)

⇒(14 - 12)= 26

⇒22 = 26

⇒4 ≠ 26

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
