Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term.

9 : 36 :: 12 : ? :: 18 : 126

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 60.

9 : 36 ⇒ 9 × (9 ÷ 3 + 1) = 9 × (3 + 1) = 9 × 4 = 36

18 : 126 ⇒ 18 × (18 ÷ 3 + 1) = 18 × (6 + 1) = 18 × 7 = 126

Similarly;

12 : ? ⇒ 12 × (12 ÷ 3 + 1) = 12 × (4 + 1) = 12 × 5 = 60

Hence, the correct answer 60.
