Directions to Solve
In each of the following questions find out the alternative which will replace the question mark.
4.
8 : 28 :: 27 : ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
First number = 8 and the sum of the digits of the second number is 2 + 8 = 10.
Thus the difference of the first number and the sum of the digits of second number is 10 - 8 = 2.
Similarly, the sum of the digits of third number is 2 + 7 = 9.
Hence the sum of digits of fourth number should be 2 more than 9 i.e. 11
Hence, fourth number is 65.

2^³ = 8,(2+1)^³ + 1 = 28.
27 = (3+1)^³ + 1 = 65.
27 = (3+1)^³ + 1 = 65.

8/2 = 4 * 7 = 28,
27/3 = 9 * 7 = 63.
27/3 = 9 * 7 = 63.
