Explanation:

Let’s break down the set (8, 15, 9):

- Look at the relationship between the numbers:

- 8 + 1 = 9 (the first and third numbers differ by 1)

- 8 + 7 = 15 (the first and second numbers differ by 7)

- 15 - 6 = 9 (the second and third numbers differ by 6)

- Notice: the second number is the first plus 7, and the third number is the first plus 1.

Let’s check all the options:

1. (5, 17, 11)

- 5 + 12 = 17 (not 7)

- 5 + 6 = 11 (not 1)

- Doesn’t match.

2. (4, 16, 12)

- 4 + 12 = 16 (again, not 7)

- 4 + 8 = 12 (again, not 1)

- Doesn't match.

3. (7, 13, 14)

- 7 + 6 = 13

- 7 + 7 = 14

- Not the same pattern.

4. (9, 16, 10)

- 9 + 7 = 16

- 9 + 1 = 10

- This is exactly the same pattern as (8, 15, 9).

Correct Answer:

Option 4 (9, 16, 10)

Here’s the thing: you want the exact relationship the original set has. Only option 4 nails that structure.
