Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 45

Understanding Application

The pattern is: x 2 + 2, + 5

1st row: 

4 x 2 + 2 = 10; 10 + 5 = 15

3rd row:

3 x 2 + 2 = 8; 8 + 5 = 13

Similarly for 2nd row:

19 x 2 + 2 = 40 + 5 = 45

Hence the correct answer is 45.
