6: 109:: ?: 257:: 10: 501

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 8.

The logic used here is:

6: 109

62 × (6 ÷ 2) + 1 = 36 × 3 + 1 = 108 + 1 = 109 

10: 501

102 × (10 ÷ 2) + 1 = 100 × 5 + 1 = 500 + 1 = 501

Similarly,

?: 257

82 × (8 ÷ 2) + 1 = 64 × 4 + 1 = 256 + 1 = 257 

Hence, 8 is the correct answer.
