Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the number-pair that is different from the rest. |
42 - 12 57 - 38 28 - 60 39 - 72 |
57 - 38 |
THE LOGIC; (Difference of squares of the digits of 1st number is equal to 2nd number) So, 1) 42 - 12, ( \( {4 }^{ 2} \)-\( {2 }^{ 2} \) ) = 12 2) 57 - 38, ( \( {7 }^{ 2} \)-\( {5 }^{ 2} \) ) \(\neq \) 38 3) 28 - 60, ( \( {8 }^{ 2} \)-\( {2 }^{ 2} \) ) = 60 4) 39 - 72, ( \( {9 }^{ 2} \)-\( {3 }^{ 2} \) ) = 72 Thus, 57 - 38 is the odd one. |
