16 : 96 :: ? : 161 :: 18 : 120

Options:

22

21

20

24

Correct Answer:

21

Explanation:

16 : 96 :: ? : 161 :: 18 : 120

The  logic followed here is :

{16 × ( 16 + 2 )} ÷ 3

= (16 × 18)  ÷ 3

= 96

AND

18 : 120

{18 × ( 18 + 2 )} ÷ 3

= (18 × 20)  ÷ 3

= 360

= 120

SIMILARLY

? : 161

{X × ( X + 2 )} ÷ 3 = 161

 X2 +  2X = 483

 X2 + 23X - 21X - 483 = 0

(X + 23) (X - 21) = 0

HERE X = - 23 AND X = 21
