Correct Answer: 176
Solution :
Given:
556 : 186 :: 951 : ?
Like, 556 : 186 –
Sum of the digits of 556→5 + 5 + 6 = 16
Sum of the digits of 186→1 + 8 + 6 = 15
Now, subtract both the resultants→16 – 15 = 1
Similarly, for 951 : ? – Sum of the digits of 951→9 + 5 + 1 = 15
Now, let's check the options –
First option:
217; Sum of the digits of 217→2 + 1 + 7 = 10; 15 – 10 = 5
Second option:
317; Sum of the digits of 317→3 + 1 + 7 = 11; 15 – 11 = 4
Third option:
286; Sum of the digits of 286→2 + 8 + 6 = 16; 15 – 16 = –1
Fourth option:
176; Sum of the digits of 176→1 + 7 + 6 = 14; 15 – 14 = 1
So, 951 is related to 176. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
