33 35 39
189 191 ?

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 195.

 Understanding   Application 

The pattern is:

In each row, to get number at 2nd column, add 2 to the number at first column

and to get number at 3rd column, add 4 to the number at 2nd column.

11 + 2 = 13, 13 + 4 = 17

33 + 2 = 35, 35 + 4 = 39

Similarly,

189 + 2 = 191, 191 + 4 = 195

Hence, option 3 is correct answer.
