Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Pattern: the left number is the square of the right number, or number : square root.
For the given pair, 225 = 15 x 15, so the right term is the square root of the left term.
256 : 16 matches because 16 x 16 = 256.
324 : 17 does not match because 17 x 17 = 289.
196 : 13 does not match because 13 x 13 = 169.
216 : 15 does not match because 15 x 15 = 225.
Conclusion: only 256 : 16 follows the same relationship.
