The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number-pairs, except one. Find that odd number-pair. |
12 : 9 8 : 4 4 : 15 20 : 25 |
4 : 15 |
THE LOGIC; 1) 12 : 9; divide 12 by 3, we get 4. So, the operation here is division by 3. 2) 8 : 4; divide 8 by 2, we get 4. So, the operation here is division by 2. 3) 4 : 15: multiply 4 by 3.75, we get 15. So, the operation here is multiplication by 3.75. 4) 20 : 25; add 5 to 20, we get 25. So, the operation here is addition by 5. Among these pairs, the odd one out is 4 : 15, as it involves multiplication, while the others involve either division or addition. |
