Is ther any rule to do like that way?
I think answer can be 16 too.
Suppose. 3^2 =9
Reversed 2^3= 8 ok.
Similarlly 4^2=16
Reversed 2^4=16.
Please justify the above method. Sorry if I'm wrong.

@All.
Here is my explanation.
9:8.
9=(3)^2 and (2)^3=8
16:?
16 = (4)^2 = (2)^4=16
So, Option (c) is the answer.

According to me, the solution is;
3^2=9 and 2^3=8.
so, 4^2=16 and 2^4=16.
So the answer is 16 -> C.
3^2=9 and 2^3=8.
so, 4^2=16 and 2^4=16.
So the answer is 16 -> C.

simply,
The right answer is 27.
9 = 3^2,
8 = (3-1)^3=2^3,
16 = 4^2,
27 = (4-1)^3=3^3.
The right answer is 27.
9 = 3^2,
8 = (3-1)^3=2^3,
16 = 4^2,
27 = (4-1)^3=3^3.

3^2 = 9
3-1=2 so 2^3 is;
2^3 = 8.
4^2 = 16
4-1=3 so 3^3 is;
3^3=27.
3-1=2 so 2^3 is;
2^3 = 8.
4^2 = 16
4-1=3 so 3^3 is;
3^3=27.

I think 16 is also right. But how we know what is the right answer.

Simply, the solution is;
3*3 = 9,
2*2*2 = 8,
4*4 = 16,
3*3*3 = 27.
3*3 = 9,
2*2*2 = 8,
4*4 = 16,
3*3*3 = 27.

9 : 8 : 16 :: x.
Start the centre value;
8 × 2 = 16.
9 × 3 = 27.
Start the centre value;
8 × 2 = 16.
9 × 3 = 27.

16 is correct
9 = 3^2.
8 = 2^3.
16 = 4^2.
4^2 => 16.
9 = 3^2.
8 = 2^3.
16 = 4^2.
4^2 => 16.
