Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 66.

61 is related to 18 → 43 - 3 = 64 - 3 = 61; 42 + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

213 is related to 38 → 63 - 3 = 216 - 3 = 213; 62 + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38

Similarly, 509 is related to: → 83 - 3 = 512 - 3 = 509; 82 + 2 = 64 + 2 = 66
