Select the pair in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as are the numbers of the given pairs. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 тАУ Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (376, 234) (354, 212)
(349, 217)
(281, 139)
(294, 145)
(328, 283)
(281, 139)
Observe the constant difference between the two numbers in each given pair: 376 - 234 = 142 and 354 - 212 = 142.
Observe the constant difference between the two numbers in each given pair: 376 - 234 = 142 and 354 - 212 = 142.
Analyze the first pair
Given the first pair (376, 234), calculate the difference: 376 - 234 = 142.
Analyze the second pair
Given the second pair (354, 212), calculate the difference: 354 - 212 = 142. Both pairs follow the rule that the difference between the first and second number is exactly 142.
Test the options for the constant difference of 142
Checking option B: 281 - 139 = 142. This matches the established pattern perfectly.
A: 349 - 217 = 132, which does not equal 142. C: 294 - 145 = 149, which does not equal 142. D: 328 - 283 = 45, which does not equal 142.
B is correct because the difference between the two numbers in both provided pairs is exactly 142, and 281 - 139 also results in 142.
When encountering number analogy questions with large numbers, always check the difference or sum first before attempting complex multiplication or digit-based operations.
