Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term.
16 : 272 :: ? : 380
$$\left(16\right)^2+16\ =\ 256+16\ =\ 272$$
Lets's assume 'y' in place of the question mark.
$$(y)^2+y = 380$$
y(y+1) =Â 380
Now check each of the options one by one by putting the value of 'y' in the above equation.
Option (a) 21
y(y+1) = 380
$$21\times22Â = 380$$
$$462\ne\ 380$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this will not be the correct answer.Option (b) 19
y(y+1) = 380
$$19\times20 = 380$$
380 = 380
The given equation is satisfied. So this will be the correct answer.
Option (c) 23
y(y+1) = 380
$$23\times24 = 380$$
$$552\ne\ 380$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this will not be the correct answer.
Option (d) 17
y(y+1) = 380
$$17\times18 = 380$$
$$306\ne\ 380$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this will not be the correct answer.
