63:21 :: 27: ?

A: 6
B: 9
C: 1
D: 3

The answer is: B

Explanation


The relationship between the numbers on the left-hand side and right-hand side of the ratio sign is the same. Therefore, we can use the same relationship to find the missing value.

To find the missing value, we can cross-multiply the ratio and solve for the unknown value.


That is,

63/21 = 27/x

Cross-multiplying:

63x = 21 * 27

63x = 567

Dividing both sides by 63:

x = 9

Therefore, the missing value is 9.

So, 63:21 :: 27:9.
