6: 136 :: 8 :  ? :: 12 : 568

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 248.

Logic :  (First number × 2)2 - 8 = Second number

As,

6 ∶ 136 ⇒ ​(6 × 2)2 - 8 = (12)2 - 8 = 144 - 8 = 136

12 ∶ 568 ⇒ (12 × 2)2 - 8 = (24)2 - 8 = 576 - 8 = 568

​Similarly,

8 ∶ ? ⇒ (8 × 2)2 - 8 = (16)2 - 8 = 256 - 8 = 248 

Hence, the correct answer is 248.
