Options:

9 - 810

11 - 1452

7 - 392

13 - 2368

Correct Answer:

13 - 2368

Explanation:

The logic followed here is:

(Ist number)2 × (ist number + 1) = second number

Option 1              9 - 810

                        (9)2 × (9 + 1) = second number

                         81 × 10 = 810

Option 2            11 - 1452

                         (11)2 × (11 + 1) = second number  

                           121 × 12 = 1452                     

Option 3              7 - 392

                        (7)2 × (7 + 1) = second number                            

                       49 × 8 = 1452                      

Option 4           13 - 2368

                      (13)2 × (13 + 1) = second number                                                   

                     169 × 14 = 2366 ≠ 2368 (odd)
