Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.

76 : 171

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 28: 63

Understanding Application

The pattern is,

The second number = (1st number x 2) + (1/4th of the 1st number)

In option 1 (24: 39)

39 = 24 x 2 + 24/4 = 48 + 6 = 54 ≠ 39

In option 2 (52 : 115)

115 = 52 x 2 + 52/4 = 104 + 13 = 117 ≠ 115

In option 3 (28 : 63)

63 = 28 x 2 + 28/4 = 56 + 7 = 63 = 63

In option 4 (62 : 135)

135 = 62 x 2 + 62/4 = 124 + 15.5 = 139.5 ≠ 135

So, 28: 63 share the same relationship.

Hence, 28: 63 is the correct answer.
