Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 57.

Logic:  Left number × 3 - 30 = right number

17 is related to 21 → 17 × 3 - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21

22 is related to 36 → 22 × 3 - 30 = 66 - 30 = 36

Similarly, 29 is related: → 29 × 3 - 30 = 87 - 30 = 57
