Analogy (number progression) — (23 : 30 : 37). Choose the option that preserves a constant +7 step between consecutive terms.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: (6 : 13 : 20)

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The triple 23 : 30 : 37 increases by a constant difference: +7, then +7. We must select the option with the same constant-difference pattern.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • A, B, C where B = A + d and C = B + d with the same d.
  • d = 7 in the stem.


Concept / Approach:
Check each option for B - A = 7 and C - B = 7.


Step-by-Step Solution:

(6 : 13 : 20) → +7, +7 ✓(7 : 15 : 22) → +8, +7 ✗(21 : 28 : 34) → +7, +6 ✗(12 : 19 : 25) → +7, +6 ✗(10 : 18 : 25) → +8, +7 ✗


Verification / Alternative check:
Only the first option maintains constant +7 increments across both gaps.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They break the constant-difference requirement.


Common Pitfalls:
Stopping after checking the first gap; both gaps must match.


Final Answer:
(6 : 13 : 20)
