Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term.
9 : 126 :: ? : 238 :: 21 : 294
- A18
- B28
- C17
- D22
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the mathematical relationship between the terms in each given pair:
First Pair: 9:126
9
126
=14⟹9×14=126
Third Pair: 21:294
21
294
=14⟹21×14=294
The logic is that the second term is obtained by multiplying the first term by 14.
Second Pair: ?:238
Let the missing number be x.
x×14=238
x=
14
238
=17
Hence, the correct option is C.
