16 : 144 :: 22 : ? :: 14 : 112
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 264.
Logic : [(First number ÷ 2) + 1] × First number = Second number
16 ∶ 144 ⇒ [(16 ÷ 2) + 1] × 16 = 144
⇒ [8 + 1] × 16 = 144 ⇒ 9 × 16 = 144
14 ∶ 112 ⇒ [(14 ÷ 2) + 1] × 14 = 112
⇒ [7 + 1] × 14 = 112 ⇒ 8 × 14 = 112
Similarly, 22 ∶ ? ⇒ [(22 ÷ 2) + 1] × 22 = ?
⇒ [11 + 1] × 22 = ? ⇒ 12 × 22 = 264
