Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Green : Blue : Yellow
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:“Pink : Red : White” shows a colour formed by mixing the next two colours. We must select the option with the same mixture logic.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Green is formed by mixing blue and yellow (additive/subtractive basic palettes). Hence “Green : Blue : Yellow” mirrors the stem.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Check colour theory: blue + yellow → green.Verify others do not produce the first colour as listed.Verification / Alternative check:Other sets either do not blend to the first, or list unrelated combinations.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Brown : Black : Blue — not a direct standard blend to brown.Orange : Yellow : Black — yellow + black does not yield orange.Yellow : Red : Green — red + green produce yellow only in certain light models but is nonstandard for these school-level analogies.Violet : Purple : White — imprecise/overlapping terms; not a basic mix rule.Common Pitfalls:Overthinking with non-school colour models; stick to basic mixing facts used in reasoning questions.
Final Answer:Green : Blue : Yellow
