What can be placed at '?' if both side of '::' have same relationship between numbers:

85 : 42 :: 139 : ?

Solution

Correct Option: 2

The relationship is: first number = 2×2 \times second number + 1. For 85:42, 42×2+1=8542 \times 2 + 1 = 85. Applying the same to 139: let the missing number be nn, then 2n+1=1392n + 1 = 139, so n=69n = 69.
