16:56::32:?

=16*4-8 = 56,
So, 32*4-8 = 120.

16:56 = (2/7) = 8*2 = 16,8*7 = 56.
then;32:112 = (2/7) = 16*2 = 32, 16*7 = 112,
ANS : 112.

The question is 16:56::32:?

I think 16/2=8
8*7=56
Same 32/2=16
16*7=112 this is the right answer.
Option (B).

16*2 = 32 16*7 = 112,

16 * 3 + (16/2) = 48 + 8 = 56,
32 * 3 + (32/2) = 96 + 16 = 112.
Hence option (B) 112 is the correct answer.

16/4 * 7 = 56.
Similarly,
32/4 * 7 = 112.

C can also be the answer as mentioned by others with the logic of 16: 16 x 4-8.

i.e. 56,
Similarly, 32: 32 x 4-8 I.e. 120.

But B is more suitable considering below:
16: 16 x 4 -16/2 I.e. 56.
32: 32 x 4 - 32/2 I.e. 112.
