Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 350 : 15.

Logic: 2nd number × (2nd number × 2) = 1st number

Option 1: 128 : 8 ⇒ 8 × (8 × 2) = 8 × 16 = 128

Option 2: 288 : 12 ⇒ 12 × (12 × 2) = 12 × 24 = 288

Option 4: 18 : 3 ⇒ 3 × (3 × 2) = 3 × 6 = 18

Option 3: 350 : 15 ⇒ 15 × (15 × 2) = 15 × 30 = 450 ≠ 350
