Question

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number.

4751 : 8998 :: 5236 : ?

1. 9999
2. 8998
3. 8888
4. 9879

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8888

The logic followed here is:

Sum of digits of 4751 = 4 + 7 + 5 + 1 = 17 And 17 × 2 = 34

Sum of digits of 8998 = 8 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 34 

Similarly,

Sum of digits of 5236 = 5 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 16 And 16 × 2 = 32

Now,

Option1: Sum of digits of 9999 = 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36 ≠ 32

Option2: Sum of digits of 8998 = 8 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 34 ≠ 32

Option3: Sum of digits of 8888 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32 = 32

Option4: Sum of digits of 9879 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 9 = 33 ≠ 32

Hence, 8888 is related to 5236 in the same way as the second number is related to the first number.
