? : 8492 :: 9940 : 9896 :: 3420 : 3376

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

? : 8492 :: 9940 : 9896 :: 3420 : 3376

Just as:

9940 → 9896

9940 − 44 = 9896

And:

3420 → 3376

3420 − 44 = 3376

Similarly:

? : 8492

? − 44 = 8492

? = 8492 + 44 = 8536

Correct Answer: (D) 8536
