Practicing Success
The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number-pairs EXCEPT one. Find that odd number-pair. |
4 : 48 6 : 180 8 : 448 9 : 639 |
9 : 639 |
THE LOGIC; 1) 4 : 48, \( {4}^{3} \) - \( {4}^{2} \) = 48 64-16 = 48 2) 6 : 180, \( {6}^{3} \) - \( {6}^{2} \) = 180 216-36 = 180 3) 8 : 448, \( {8}^{3} \) - \( {8}^{2} \) = 448 512-64 = 448
\( {9}^{3} \) - \( {9}^{2} \) = 639 729-81 = 648 not 639 Thus, 9 : 639 is the odd one. |
