Question: 3

3. One is to two as three is to

  • A. two
  • B. five
  • C. six
  • D. thirty

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct answer is (C). The relationship between the first two terms cannot be determined until you look at the third term and the choices. At first you might think, "Two follows one, so four should follow three." The problem is that "four" is not offered as an answer choice. Of the choices given, SIX is most related to THREE, since SIX is twice THREE. Looking back at the first pair, you can see that TWO is twice ONE. Since the "times two" relationship applies to both sides of the proportion, choice (C) is the correct answer.
