Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

9

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 9.

Let us analyze the relationship between the first pair of numbers: 15 and 20.
We can observe the ratio of the two numbers:
15 20 = 3 4

Now let us check the relationship between the second pair of numbers: 6 and 8.
The ratio is:
6 8 = 3 4

Both pairs of numbers share the same simplified ratio of 3 : 4. That is:
First Number : Second Number = 3 : 4

Following the same logic, we want to find the number, let's call it x, that is related to 12.
This gives us the proportion:
x 12 = 3 4

To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 12 × 3 4
x = 3 × 3
x = 9

Therefore, the number related to 12 using the same logic is 9.
