The answer is C) 21, because 6/14 is simplified to 3/7. assuming it’s a pattern 3/7, 6/14, 12/21.

Assuming the parallel looking lines are actually parallel, we get proportionality from the corresponding parts:


(FG)/(IJ) = (EF)/(HI)


FG = IJ (EF)/(HI) = 14 (9/6) = 21


EG = EF + FG = 9 + 21 = 30

Answer: D
