93: 87

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 58:55.

Understanding

The logic used here is:

93: 87

93 - |9 - 3| = 93 - 6 = 87

Option 1: 96:92

96 - |9 - 6| = 96 - 3 = 93

This does not follow the logic.

Option 2: 49:53

49 - |4 - 9| = 49 - 5 = 44

This does not follow the logic.

Option 3: 58:55

58 - |5 - 8| = 58 - 3 = 55

This follows the logic. So there is no need of checking further options.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
