216

512

125

729

Let’s break this down step by step:

- 3 : 8 — If we notice, 8 is 2³. So there’s a power relationship.

- 6 : ? — We want to find a number that fits the same pattern.

- 11 : 1000 — Here, 1000 is 10³.

Looking at the pairs, the relationship is:

- The second term is (first term - 1)³.

- So, for 3: (3-1)=2, 2³=8.

- For 11: (11-1)=10, 10³=1000.

Apply the rule for 6:

- (6-1)=5, 5³=125.

Now, let’s look at the options:

- Option 1: 216 (that’s 6³, doesn’t fit)

- Option 2: 512 (that’s 8³, doesn’t fit)

- Option 3: 125 (matches, because 5³=125)

- Option 4: 729 (that’s 9³, doesn’t fit)

Option 3 is a perfect fit here.
