Consider the following statements:

1.2, 6, 1854
2.3, 9, 2781
3.5, 15, 45135

How many of the statements given above are correct?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All three
  • D.None

Answer: C

All three statements are correct.

Each row is a geometric progression with common ratio 3, and the second column gives the next term.

  • 2, 6, 18: next is \(18 \times 3 = 54\).
  • 3, 9, 27: next is \(27 \times 3 = 81\).
  • 5, 15, 45: next is \(45 \times 3 = 135\).

Every row continues its own series correctly, so no row is wrong. A solver who reads row 2 as powers of 3 still gets 81, so the answer does not depend on which rule is spotted.
