12 : 64 :: ? : 116 :: 32 : 144

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 25

Logic: First Number × 4 + 16

⇒12 : 64 = 12 × 4 + 16 = 48 + 16 = 64

⇒32 : 144 = 32 × 4 + 16 = 128 + 16 = 144

Similarly, Let the number be 'a'

⇒? : 116 = a × 4 + 16 = 116 , 4a = 116 - 16, 4a = 100, a = 25
