Question

Find the missing term: 8 : 28 :: 27 : ?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 64
• D. 74
• E.

Hint:

Look for patterns involving powers and simple arithmetic operations to solve such ratio problems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Observing the pattern in the first pair \( 8 : 28 \), we find: \[ 8^2 + 4 = 64 + 4 = 28. \] - Applying the same pattern to the second pair: \[ 27^2 + 4 = 729 + 4 = 733. \] Thus, the missing term is \(\mathbf{733}\).
