Correct Answer: 342
Solution : Given:
14 : 238 :: 18 : ?
Divide the second number by the first number to obtain the required number –

Second option: 342→342 ÷ 18 = 19
Third option: 651→651 is not divisible by 18
Fourth option: 405→405 is not divisible by 18
So, 342 is the missing number in the given pair of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
