Correct Answer: 16
Solution :
Given:
16 : 8 :: 36 : 12 :: 64 : ?
Divide the first, third, and fourth numbers by the consecutive natural numbers to get the second, fourth, and sixth numbers –
Like in,
16 : 8→
16 ÷ 2 = 8
And in, 36 : 12→36 ÷ 3 = 12
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 64 : ?→64 ÷ 4 = 16
Therefore, the required missing number is 16. Hence, the third option is correct.
