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.

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

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.

3*3 = 9.
2*2*2 = 8 similarly,
4*4 = 16,
3*3*3 = 27.
2*2*2 = 8 similarly,
4*4 = 16,
3*3*3 = 27.
