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 :?

Options

  1. A12
  2. B13
  3. C15
  4. D31

Correct answer

C. 15

Step-by-step solution

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