7 : 32

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 13 : 98

Understanding Application

Pattern:

X : Y

Y = [X × {(X + 1)/2}] + {(X + 1)/2}

7 : 32

[7 × {(7 + 1)/2}] + {(7 + 1)/2}

= 28 + 4

= 32

Similarly, for 13 : 98

[13 × {(13 + 1)/2}] + {(13 + 1)/2}

= (13 × 7) + 7

= 98
