Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 324

Understanding Application

The logic used here is:

2nd number = (1st number - 2)2

6 : 16

(6 - 2)2 = 42 = 16

11 : 81

(11 - 2)2 = 92 = 81

(20 - 2)2 = 182 = 324

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
