5 : 127 :: 9 : ? :: 7 : 247

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 407.

Logic : (Square of first number × 5) = (Second number - 2)

5 : 127 ⇒ 

(5)2 × 5 = 127 - 2

25 × 5 = 125

125 = 125

7 : 247 ⇒

(7)2 × 5 = 247 - 2

49 × 5 = 245

245 = 245 

Similarly.

9 : ? ⇒

(9)2 × 5 = ? - 2

81 × 5 = ? - 2

405 + 2 = ?

407 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is 407.
