1. Select the number-pair in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following pair. [S.S.C MTS 05/10/2021 (Morning)]

144 : 168

Correct Answer: (c) 121 : 143
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {(√a + 1)² - 1} = b

(144 : 168) → {(√144 + 1)² - 1} ⇒ {(12 + 1)² - 1} ⇒ 13² - 1 ⇒ 169 - 1 = 168

Similarly,

(121 : 143) → {(√121 + 1)² - 1} ⇒ {(11 + 1)² - 1} ⇒ 12² - 1 ⇒ 144 - 1 = 143

Hence, "(121 : 143)" is the correct answer.
