Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term.
5 : 35 :: 9 : ? :: 14 : 224
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
5 : 35 :: 9 : ? :: 14 : 224
The logic here is :
(1st Term + 1)2 - 1 = 2nd Term
⇒ 5 : 35
(5 + 1)2 - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35
⇒ 14 : 224
(14 + 1)2 - 1 = 225 - 1 = 224
Similarly,
⇒ 9 : ?
(9 + 1)2 - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99 = ?
