1. 2, 4, 8
2. 3, 9, 27
3. 5, 25, 125
4. 4, 16, 36

Correct answer: 4, 16, 36

Solution

In options A, B, and C, each term is obtained by multiplying by the same number: 2, 4, 8; 3, 9, 27; and 5, 25, 125. In option D, 4 and 16 fit a pattern, but 36 does not continue the same multiplication sequence.
