Question

Find the analogy 27:135::24:?

Answer 1

Answer:

$27:135 :: 24:120$

Explanation:

Given, a question based on analogy reasoning.

To solve these kind of questions, we need to find out the similarities between the first two numbers and find the number which carries the same similarities to the “?”, as the first two carry.

Different types of number based analogy are Addition/ Subtraction/ Multiplication with the constant numbers, Square/Cube of the constant numbers, Operation of Sum of the digits, and so on.

Here, if we analyze we can see multiplication of 5 is carried out between first two.

$27:135 :: 24:?$

$\frac{27}{135} = \frac{24}{x}$

$x \: = \frac{24 \times 135}{27}$

$x = 24 \times 5$

$x = 120$

Hence, 120 is the correct answer.
