Three of the following four number pairs are alike in a certain way and one is different. Find the odd one out.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

In three pairs the second number is n(n+1)n(n+1): 17×18=30617\times18=306, 16×17=27216\times17=272, 22×23=50622\times23=506. But 812=29×28=n(n−1)812 = 29\times28 = n(n-1), so 29 : 812 breaks the pattern.
