Question:

Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.

(12, 121, 169)

Options:

(14, 196, 225)

(16, 161, 256)

(11, 144, 196)

(17, 256, 324)

Correct Answer:

(17, 256, 324)

Explanation:

(12, 121, 169)

The logic followed here is :

(Ist number - 1)2 = IInd number

(Ist number + 1)2 = IInd number

as

(12 - 1)2 = 112 = 121

(12 + 1)2 = 13= 169

Similarly

(17, 256, 324)

(17 - 1)2 = 162 = 256

(17 + 1)2 = 18= 324
