DIRECTION: In the following question, there are two numbers to the left of the sign :: which are connected in some way. The same relationship follows between the third number and one of the four alternatives under it. Find the correct option: 14 : 9 :: 26 :?

Step-by-step solution

As given in the question, The relationship is (2 x-4): x . Now, place the value of x i.e, 9 aligned & (2 9-4): 9 & (18-4): 9 & 14: 9 aligned Similarly, Firstly, we will place value 12 aligned & (2 12-4): 12 & (24-4): 12 & 20: 12 aligned Hence, this option does not fit the context. Similarly, the other options (13,31) also do not fit the context.
