Answer 2

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Question}}}$

Puzzle is given below –

236 : 12 :: 428 : 16 :: 339 : ?

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Let's \: understand \: the \: concept \: 1st}}}$

This question is of topic Analogy. Now what is analogy ? Analogy means comparison, likeness, resemblance, similitude, affinity ,correspondence. (between the terms)

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Using \: formula \: or \: rule}}}$

To solve this analogy we have to multiply ( Hundreds and tens place ) the first two digits. And now we have to add the product ( Units ) with the third digits.

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Answer}}}$

? = 18

236 : 12 :: 428 : 16 :: 339 : 18

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Full \: solution}}}$

• 2 × 3 + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12
• 4 × 2 + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16
• 3 × 3 + 9 = 9 + 9 = 18

That's why the answer is 18.

• ? = 18
• 236 : 12 :: 428 : 16 :: 339 : 18
