View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Here, in all the pair of numbers the second number is 180 less than the first number.
i.e.

1247 - 180 = 1067
2361 - 180 = 2181

65:20 ⇒ 6 × 5 = 30:30 – 10 = 20;
54:2 ⇒ 5 × 4 = 20:20 – 10 = 10;
76:32 ⇒ 7 × 6 = 42:42 – 10 = 32;

But 27:12 does not follow this pattern (i.e. 2 × 7 = 14:14 – 10 ≠ 12).
Hence, 27:12 is the answer.
