Option 1: 8 – 36
Option 2: 16 – 64
Option 3: 36 – 216
Option 4: 25 – 125
Correct Answer: 8 – 36
Solution : On determining the square and cube, we will get:
First option: 8 – 36 '8' is not the square of any number. '36' is also not the cube of any number. Hence '8 – 36' is the odd one out.

Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term. 8 : 448 :: 9 : ? :: 11 : 847
Option 1: 576
Option 2: 577
Option 3: 567
Option 4: 562
Correct Answer: 567
Solution : Given: 8 : 448 :: 9 : ? :: 11 : 847
Seven times the square of the first number equals the second number. Like, 8 : 448→8² × 7 = 64 × 7 = 448 And, 11 : 847→11² × 7 = 121 ×

Question : The sum of the cubes of two numbers is 793. The sum of the numbers is 13. Then the difference between the two numbers is:
Option 1: 7
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : Let the numbers be $a$ and $b$ where $a > b$. According to the question, $a^3+b^3=793$ and $a+b=13$ So, $(a+b)^3=a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)$ ⇒ $13^3=793+3ab×13$ ⇒ $39ab=2197-793$ ⇒ $ab=\frac{1404}{39}$ $\therefore ab=36$ Now, $(a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab$ ⇒ $(a-b)^2=13^2-4×36=169-144=25$ $\therefore (a-b)=\sqrt{25}=5$ Hence, the correct answer is $5$.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) $\left[\left(\frac{7}{9}\right),\left(\frac{31}{39}\right)\right];\left[\left(\frac{3}{5}\right),\left(\frac{15}{23}\right)\right]$
Option 1: $\left[\left(\frac{11}{13}\right),\left(\frac{47}{55}\right)\right]$
Option 2: $\left[\left(\frac{9}{13}\right),\left(\frac{37}{55}\right)\right]$
Option 3: $\left[\left(\frac{9}{11}\right),\left(\frac{32}{37}\right)\right]$
Option 4: $\left[\left(\frac{17}{19}\right),\left(\frac{36}{77}\right)\right]$
Correct Answer: $\left[\left(\frac{11}{13}\right),\left(\frac{47}{55}\right)\right]$
Solution : Given: $\left[\left(\frac{7}{9}\right),\left(\frac{31}{39}\right)\right];\left[\left(\frac{3}{5}\right),\left(\frac{15}{23}\right)\right]$
In the given sets, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4, and then add 3. $\left[\left(\frac{7}{9}\right),\left(\frac{31}{39}\right)\right]$→$\left[\left(\frac{(7 × 4) + 3}{(9 × 4) + 3}\right) = (\frac{28 + 3}{36 + 3}) =\left(\frac{31}{39}\right)\right]$ $\left[\left(\frac{3}{5}\right),\left(\frac{15}{23}\right)\right]$→$\left[\left(\frac{(3 × 4) + 3}{(5 × 4) + 3}\right) =
