Test standard mathematical transformations such as cubes minus the number or squares plus the number. Here, the pattern is n cubed + n or similar rules.
Test standard mathematical transformations such as cubes minus the number or squares plus the number. Here, the pattern is n cubed + n or similar rules.
Analyze First Set (6, 37)
Observe the first number 6. Squaring 6 gives 36. Adding 1 gives 37, which is the second number (6 squared + 1 = 37).
Analyze Second Set (8, 65)
Test the same rule on 8. Squaring 8 gives 64. Adding 1 gives 65, which matches the second number (8 squared + 1 = 65).
Evaluate Options and Match Rule
Apply the rule (n squared + 1) to the options. For Option D, taking 9: 9 squared + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82, which matches the given pair (9, 82).
A: (5, 24) gives 5 squared - 1 = 24. B: (7, 49) gives 7 squared = 49 (no +1). C: (3, 27) gives 3 cubed = 27.
D is correct because the numbers follow the mathematical relation that the second number is equal to the square of the first number plus one (n squared + 1), and 9 squared + 1 = 82.
Always test both n squared + 1, n squared - 1, and n cubed patterns when number pairs involve single digits and numbers in the 30-90 range.
