974 : 484 :: ? : 214 :: 1012 : 503
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
974 : 484 :: ? : 214 :: 1012 : 503
Just as:
974 : 484
974 ÷ 2 = 487
487 − 3 = 484
And:
1012 : 503
1012 ÷ 2 = 506
506 − 3 = 503
Similarly:
? : 214
? ÷ 2 − 3 = 214
? ÷ 2 = 217
? = 434
Final Answer: 434 (Option A)
