192 : 24:: 48: 12 :: 432 : ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 36.
The logic followed is:
Logic: [(Second no. ÷ 3) × Second no.] = First no.
192 : 24 → [(24 ÷ 3) × 24
⇒ 8 × 24= 192
48 : 12 → [(12 ÷ 3) × 12]
⇒ 4 × 12 = 48
Similarly, for '432 : ?' → [(y ÷ 3) × y] = 432
⇒ y2 = 1296 = 36
Thus, 432 : 36.
Hence, 36 is the correct answer.
