Complete the analogy: 3 : 27 :: 4 : ?
Correct answer: B. 64
- A. 36
- B. 64
- C. 81
- D. 49
Explanation
In this analogy, the relationship between the first pair of numbers is based on cubing. The number 3 is related to 27 because 27 is 3 cubed (3 x 3 x 3 = 27). Similarly, to find the number analogous to 4, we cube it: 4 cubed is 64 (4 x 4 x 4 = 64). Therefore, the correct answer is 64. The other options, 36, 81, and 49, are results of squaring numbers rather than cubing, and thus do not fit the given pattern.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
