119 is related to 205 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 145 is related to 231. To which of the given options is 132 related, following the same logic? (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 тАУ Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Identify the relationship: (Number 1) + 86 = (Number 2). The difference between the two numbers is constant at 86.
Identify the relationship: (Number 1) + 86 = (Number 2). The difference between the two numbers is constant at 86.
Analyze the first pair
Calculate the difference between the related numbers: 205 - 119 = 86.
Verify the second pair
Check if the same logic applies: 231 - 145 = 86. The constant difference rule is confirmed.
Apply to the target number
Add 86 to 132 to find the related term: 132 + 86 = 218.
A: 228 is incorrect as the difference from 132 is 96. B: 215 is incorrect as the difference from 132 is 83. C: 221 is incorrect as the difference from 132 is 89.
D is correct because 132 plus the constant difference of 86 equals 218.
In number analogy questions, always check for a constant difference first before moving to more complex square, cube, or multiplication patterns.
