Question:
8 : 28 :: 27 : ?

Option A):
8
Option B):
65
Option C):
64
Option D):
28

Correct Answer is Option B):
65

Explanation:
First number = 8 and the sum of the digits of the second number is 2 + 8 = 10.

Thus the difference of the first number and the sum of the digits of second number is 10 - 8 = 2.

Similarly, the sum of the digits of third number is 2 + 7 = 9.

Hence the sum of digits of fourth number should be 2 more than 9 i.e. 11

Hence, fourth number is 65.
