Identify the relationship as square mapping: n: n┬▓. Here, 12 squared is 144, so 15 squared is 225.

ЁЯУК Diagram / Illustration
Mathematical Analogy: Number Square Pattern1Analyze First Pair (12 : 144)The relationship is n : n┬▓. Here, 12┬▓ = 12 ├Ч 12 = 144.2Identify Pattern RuleEach number maps to its exact square value: n тЮФ n┬▓.3Apply Pattern to Target (15 : ?)Calculate the square of 15: 15┬▓ = 15 ├Ч 15 = 225.4Final ResultOption A) 225Correct Answer: A) 225 (Rule: n : n┬▓)
ЁЯзй Logic Steps
1

Analyze the first pair

The relationship given is 12: 144 ┬╖ Calculating 12 multiplied by 12 (122)12^2)122) results in 144.

2

Apply the pattern to the second pair

To maintain the same logical relationship (n: n┬▓), apply the square operation to the number 15 ┬╖ Therefore, 15 multiplied by 15 (152)15^2)152) equals 225.

ЁЯЪл Why Other Options Are Wrong

B: 196 is 14214^2142, not related to 15 ┬╖ C: 256 is 16216^2162, which does not follow the n┬▓ pattern for 15 ┬╖ D: 210 is 15 multiplied by 14, which does not match the square relationship.

тЬЕ

A is correct because the sequence follows the rule of squaring the first number to obtain the second number (15215^2152 = 225).
