Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 197.
Given: 121 : 145 :: 49 : 65 :: 169 : ?
The pattern followed here is:
121 : 145 → 112 : 122 + 1
49 : 65 → 72 : 82 + 1
Therefore, the number that will replace the question mark is:
169 : ? → 142 + 1 = 196 + 1 = 197
Hence, the correct answer is 197.
