Question:

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.

Options:

16 : 224

21 : 399

35 : 1155

17 : 238

Correct Answer:

17 : 238

Explanation:

THE LOGIC;

1) 16 : 224,

(16x16) = 256 - (16x2) = 224

2) 21 : 399,

(21x21) = 441 - (21x2) = 399

3) 35 : 1155,

(35x35) = 1225 - (35x2) = 1155

4) 17 : 238,

(17x17) = 289 - (17x2) = 255 not 238

Thus, 17 : 238 is the odd one.
