What number should replace the question mark?
(A) 72 : 8
(B) 156 : 12
(C) 272 : 16
(D) 600 : ?
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 24
In each pair, the first number is the second number multiplied by the next number, that is, \(n\times(n+1)\).
\(8\times9=72\)
\(12\times13=156\)
\(16\times17=272\)
\(24\times25=600\), so the missing number is 24
