Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term.
11 : 31 :: ? : 25 :: 14 : 40

Correct option is D

Given:
Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term.
11 : 31 :: ? : 25 :: 14 : 40
Logic: The relationship is: = Second term = (First term × 3) − 2
Explanation (applied left to right):
11 → 31
(11 × 3) − 2 = 33 − 2 = 31 
14 → 40
(14 × 3) − 2 = 42 − 2 = 40 
? → 25
Let the missing number be X:
(X × 3) − 2 = 25
=> X × 3 = 27
=> X = 9
Final Answer:
The missing number is 9.
Final Correct Option:
(D)
