486 : 9 :: 464 : ? :: 352 : 5

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 7.

Logic: Sum of digits of 1st number ÷ 2 = 2nd number

486 : 9 → (4 + 8 + 6) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9

352 : 5 → (3 + 5 + 2) ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Similarly, 464 : ? → (4 + 6 + 4) ÷ 2 = 14 ÷ 2 = 7
