Question : Directions: Select the option in which the two numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers in the given number pairs.
23 : 529
26 : 676
Option 1: 24 : 576
Option 2: 16 : 196
Option 3: 18 : 400
Option 4: 22 : 444
Correct Answer: 24 : 576
Solution :
Given:
23: 529; 26: 676
Square of the first term to get the second term –
⇒ 23 : 529 → 23
2
= 529
⇒ 26 : 676 → 26
2
= 676
Let's check each option –
First option:
24: 576 → 24
2
= 576
Second option:
16: 196 → 16
2
= 256 ≠ 196
Third option:
18: 400 → 18
2
= 324 ≠ 400
Fourth option:
22: 444 → 22
2
= 484 ≠ 444
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
