Question : Directions: 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. 14 : 400 :: 37 : ? :: 42 : 2304
Option 1: 1333
Option 2: 1764
Option 3: 1849
Option 4: 1521
Correct Answer: 1849
Solution : Given: 14 : 400 :: 37 : ? :: 42 : 2304
Subtract 6 from the square root of the second term to obtain the first term. Like, 14 : 400→$\sqrt400$ = 20; 20 – 6 = 14 And, 42 : 2304→$\sqrt2304$ = 48; 48
