12 : 136 : : ? : 188 : : 24 : 568

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 14​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

12 : 136 : : ? : 188 : : 24 : 568

The logic followed here is:

12 : 136 → 122 –  8 = 144 – 8 = 136

​​​​24 : 568 → 242 – 8 = 576 – 8 = 568

Similarly,

? : 188 → x2 – 8 = 188 

x2  = 188 + 8 = 196

x = 196 ½

x = 14

Hence, the correct is 14.
