17) In each of the number-pairs, the second number is obtained by performing a certain mathematical operation on the first number. Three of the following pairs follow the same pattern and thus form a group. Select the number-pair that does NOT belong to that group.
A) 22, 34
B) 11, 12
C) 25, 42
D) 17, 24
View Answer
C) 25, 42
Explanation:We are given four number-pairs. We need to identify the number pair that does not follow the same pattern as the others.
Here are the pairs again:
»1. (22, 34)
»2. (11, 12)
»3. (25, 42)
»4. (17, 24)
Step 1: Look for a possible mathematical pattern between each pair.
»Pair 1: (22, 34)
Let’s explore how the second number relates to the first:
– 34 is 22 + 12.
– The second number is 12 more than the first.
»Pair 2: (11, 12)
Similarly:
– 12 is 11 + 1.
– The second number is 1 more than the first.
»Pair 3: (25, 42)
– 42 is 25 + 17.
– The second number is 17 more than the first.
»Pair 4: (17, 24)
– 24 is 17 + 7.
– The second number is 7 more than the first.
Step 2: Compare the patterns
– In all the pairs, the second number is simply the first number plus a certain number.
– (22, 34): 12 more
– (11, 12): 1 more
– (25, 42): 17 more
– (17, 24): 7 more
Step 3: Identify the odd one out.
The pattern is consistent in each pair, where the second number is larger than the first by a specific difference. However, the difference in (25, 42) is 17, which is significantly larger compared to the other differences.
Thus, the odd pair is Option 3: (25, 42).
