15 : 270 :: 21 : ? :: 18 : 378

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 504.

The logic followed is:

Logic: First no.2 + (First no. × 3) = Second no.

15 : 270 →

152 + (15 × 3) = 225 + 45 = 270

18 : 378  →

182 + (18 × 3) = 324 + 54 = 378

and 21 : ?  →

 212 + (21 × 3) = 441 + 63 = 504

Thus, 21 : 504.

Hence, 504 is the correct answer.
