Correct Answer: 5 : 10 : 125


Solution : Let's check the given options –
First option: (2 : 5 : 8)→((2 × 2) + 1) = 4 + 1 = 5; (2) 3 = 8
Second option: (5 : 10 : 125)→((5 × 2) + 1) = 10 + 1 = 11 ≠ 10; (5) 3 = 125
Third option: (12 : 25 : 1728)→((12 × 2) + 1) = 24 + 1 = 25; (12) 3 = 1728
Fourth option: (3 : 7 : 27)→((3 × 2) + 1) = 6 + 1 = 7; (3) 3 = 27

So, only the second option is different from the others. Hence, the second option is correct.
