Correct Answer: 18 – 325
Solution :
Let's check the options –
First option:
18 – 325; 18
2
+ 1 = 324 + 1 = 325
Second option:
11 – 120; 11
2
– 1 = 121 – 1 = 120
Third option:
13 – 168; 13
2
– 1 = 169 – 1 = 168
Fourth option:
15 – 224; 15
2
– 1 = 225 – 1 = 224
So, only the first option is different from the other three as here, we have to add 1 instead of subtracting 1 from the square of the first number to get the second number. Hence, the first option is correct.
