Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 420

           Understanding             Application 

 16 : 144

= 16 × (16 ÷ 2 ) +16

 = 16 × 8 + 16

 = 128 + 16

 = 144

 Similarly,

 28 × (28 ÷ 2 ) + 28

 = 28 × 14 + 28

 = 392 + 28

 = 420

 Hence, 420 is the correct answer.
