Question

In each of the following questions find out the alternative which will replace the question mark.
8 : 28 :: 27 : ?

• A. 28
• B. 8
• C. 64
• D. 65

Answer 1

The correct option is D 65

First number = 8 and the sum of the digits of the second number is $2+8=10$.

Thus the difference of the first number and the sum of the digits of second number is $10-8=2$.

Similarly, the sum of the digits of third number is $2+7=9$.

Hence the sum of digits of fourth number should be 2 more than 9 i.e. 11

Hence, fourth number is 65.
