Logic:

Formula: First number / 9 = Second number

Given

(153, 17):

153 / 9 = 17

For (216, 24):

216 / 9 = 24

Option 1) (171, 18):

171 / 9 = 19 ≠ 18

Option 2) (243, 27):

243 / 9 = 27

Follow the same logic.

Option 3) (189, 31):

189 / 9 = 21 31

Option 4) (225, 35):

225 / 9 = 25 35

Conclusion:

Only Option 2 satisfies the given formula.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2) (243, 27).
