Question

Choose the correct alternative from the given statements.
225:257::289:?

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a proportion problem. To solve it, you can use cross-multiplication method.

Let's call the missing number "x".

225/257 = 289/x

Cross-multiplying gives us:

225 * x = 257 * 289

Solving for x, we get:

x = 257 * 289 / 225

x = 325.

So, the correct answer is 325.

Therefore, the correct alternative is:

289:325
