Option D (2nd table in the second row)

Step-by-step explanation:

a = b + 8.6

From the options given, the relationship between a and b should be:

b = a + 8.6

This is because the values of b in all the tables are more than the values of a. Also if we follow this relatioship, we would be able to get the correct answer in the option.

b = a + 8.6

a) if a = 2

b = 2 + 8.6 = 10.6

10. 6 is different from 17.2 (option is wrong)

b) if a = 2

b = 2 + 8.6 = 10.6

10. 6 is different from 8.8 (option is wrong)

c) if a = 2

b = 2 + 8.6 = 10.6

This is correct with the value of b. we need to confirm if other values on the same table follow this

if a = 4

b = 4 + 8.6 = 12.6

12.6 is different from 10.8 as value of b

d) if a = 2

b = 2 + 8.6 = 10.6

if a = 4

b = 4 + 8.6 = 12.6

if a = 6

b = 6 + 8.6 = 14.6

This option is correct as it follows the relationship between a and b
