Select the option that is related to the sixth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and third number is related to fourth number.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g.13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
222 : 673 :: 923 : 2776 :: ? : 268
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Just as:
222 → 673
222 × 3 = 666
666 + 7 = 673
And:
923 → 2776
923 × 3 = 2769
2769 + 7 = 2776
Similarly:
? : 268
? × 3 + 7 = 268
268 − 7 = 261
261 ÷ 3 = 87
Correct Answer: 87
