Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

1. Analyze the mathematical relationship in options A, B, and D: - Option A: 6 / 3 = 2 (First / Second = Third) - Option B: 9 / 3 = 3 (First / Second = Third) - Option D: 6 / 1 = 6 (First / Second = Third) 2. This establishes the common pattern: First Number = Second Number * Third Number. 3. Test Option C with this rule: 8 / 3 does not equal 4 (since 3 * 4 = 12, not 8). Thus, it is the odd one out.
