1Number analogy: 2 -> 5, 4 -> 7, 6 -> ?
A.8
B.9
C.10
D.12
Explanation: Each starting number increases by 3. Since 6 + 3 = 9, the missing number is 9.
2Number analogy: 3 -> 6, 5 -> 10, 7 -> ?
A.12
B.13
C.14
D.15
Explanation: Each number is doubled. Doubling 7 gives 14, so 14 completes the analogy.
3Number analogy: 10 -> 8, 7 -> 5, 12 -> ?
A.10
B.11
C.14
D.6
Explanation: Each ending number is 2 less than the starting number. Since 12 - 2 = 10, the answer is 10.
4Number analogy: 4 -> 16, 6 -> 24, 8 -> ?
A.28
B.30
C.36
D.32
Explanation: Each starting number is multiplied by 4. Since 8 x 4 = 32, the missing number is 32.
5Number analogy: 9 -> 3, 12 -> 4, 15 -> ?
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.3
Explanation: Each starting number is divided by 3. Since 15 divided by 3 is 5, the missing number is 5.
6Number analogy: 2 -> 7, 5 -> 10, 8 -> ?
A.11
B.12
C.13
D.16
Explanation: Each pair follows the rule add 5. Since 8 + 5 = 13, the answer is 13.
7Number analogy: 3 -> 10, 5 -> 16, 7 -> ?
A.20
B.22
C.24
D.28
Explanation: The rule is multiply by 3 and then add 1. For 7, 7 x 3 + 1 = 22.
8Number analogy: 6 -> 4, 9 -> 7, 13 -> ?
A.9
B.10
C.11
D.12
Explanation: Each ending number is 2 less than the starting number. Since 13 - 2 = 11, the answer is 11.
9Number analogy: 2 -> 6, 4 -> 20, 6 -> ?
A.30
B.36
C.40
D.42
Explanation: Each number is multiplied by the next whole number: 2 x 3 = 6 and 4 x 5 = 20. So 6 x 7 = 42.
10Number analogy: 5 -> 12, 8 -> 18, 11 -> ?
A.24
B.25
C.26
D.28
Explanation: The rule is double the number, then add 2. For 11, 11 x 2 + 2 = 24.
