    Actually, the problem deals with triplets instead of pairs so I am not sure if the idea can be extended here.

      Well my solution can easily be extended. The idea is to use DP on the binary representation. And the state is:

      dp[current bit][carry in sum] = triples of binary numbers of length [current bit] with given carry in the previous addition.
