Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.
76 : 171
Option 1: 28 : 63
Option 2: 24 : 39
Option 3: 62 : 135
Option 4: 52 : 115
Correct Answer: 28 : 63
Solution :
Given:
76 : 171
Divide the second term by the first term to obtain 2.25.
Here in, 76 : 171→171 ÷ 76 = 2.25
Let's check the options –
First option:
28 : 63→63 ÷ 28 = 2.25
Second option:
24 : 39→39 ÷ 24 = 1.625 ≠ 2.25
Third option:
62 : 135→135 ÷ 62 = 2.17 ≠ 2.25
Fourth option:
52 : 115→115 ÷ 52 = 2.21 ≠ 2.25
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given pair of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
