• A. M13: 015 : Q17
• B. N14: P16 : R18
• C. L12 : N14: P16
• D. O15: Q17: S21

Answer 1

Answer:

D. O15: Q17: S21

Let's examine the pattern in each group.

1. M13 : O15 : Q17

   • Letters: M → O → Q (+2, +2)

   • Numbers: 13 → 15 → 17 (+2, +2)

2. N14 : P16 : R18

   • Letters: N → P → R (+2, +2)

   • Numbers: 14 → 16 → 18 (+2, +2)

3. L12 : N14 : P16

   • Letters: L → N → P (+2, +2)

   • Numbers: 12 → 14 → 16 (+2, +2)

4. O15 : Q17 : S21

   • Letters: O → Q → S (+2, +2)

   • Numbers: 15 → 17 → 21 (+2, +4)

The numbers do not follow the same +2, +2 pattern.

Answer: O15 : Q17 : S21
