Explanation:

Notice that:

  • 47 - 41 = 6,
  • 53 - 47 = 6,
  • 59 - 53 = 6,
  • 65 - 59 = 6.

Every house number on the side of Elm Street is 6 more than the previous one.

If we continue this pattern, we will see the following house numbers:

  • 65 + 6 = 71,
  • 71 + 6 = 77,
  • 77 + 6 = 83,
  • 83 + 86 = 89.

Out of the options given, the only one whose number is on the side of Elm Street is 77. (B)
