2. Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C CHSL Tier II (26/06/2023)]

7 : 336 :: 3 : 24 :: 5 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 120
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)³ - (1st number) = 2nd number

(7 : 336) → 7³ - 7 ⇒ 343 - 7 =  336

(3 : 24) → 3³ - 3 ⇒ 27 - 3 = 24

Similarly,

(5 : ?) → 5³ - 5 ⇒ 125 - 5 = 120

Hence, "120" is the correct answer.
