6 : 646 :: 5 : ? :: 4 : 190

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 373

6 : 646 :: 5 : ? :: 4 : 190

The logic followed here is:

63 × 3 - 2 = 216 × 3 - 2 ⇒ 648 - 2 = 646

43 × 3 - 2 = 64 × 3 - 2 ⇒ 192 - 2 = 190

Similarly, 

53 × 3 - 2 = 125 × 3 - 2 ⇒ 375 - 2 = 373
