144 : 168

A. 64 : 82
B. 81 : 100
C. 121 : 143
D. 169 : 159

Answer 1

The numbers in the given pair are related by adding 24 to the first number to get the second number. None of the options given have the same relationship. None of the options have the same relationship as the given pair of numbers 144 : 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the given pair are related by adding 24 to the first number to get the second number. Therefore, we need to find another number pair with the same relationship. Let's analyze the options:

• A. 64 : 82 - the difference between the numbers is 18, not 24, so it's not the correct pair.
• B. 81 : 100 - the difference between the numbers is 19, not 24, so it's not the correct pair.
• C. 121 : 143 - the difference between the numbers is 22, not 24, so it's not the correct pair.
• D. 169 : 159 - the difference between the numbers is -10, not 24, so it's not the correct pair.

None of the options have the same relationship as the given pair of numbers 144 : 168. Therefore, the answer is none of the above.
