Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13- Operations on 13 such as adding / subtracting / multiplying etc, to 13 can be performed, Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed).

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 297.
Logic here used : ( First Number )2 + ( Second Number )3 = Third Number
First row: 15, 3, 252
(15)2+(3)3 = 225 + 27 = 252
Second row: 11, 5, 246
(11)2 + (5)3 = 121 + 125 = 246
Similarly ,
Third row: 9, 6, ?
( 9)2 + (6)3 = 81 + 216 = 297
Hence, the correct answer is 297.
