Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Given pair: 225 : 16
√225 = 15
15 + 1 = 16
Thus, the relationship is:
(square root of the first number) + 1 = the second number
Now check the options:
256 : 17 → √256 = 16 → 16 + 1 = 17 ✅
324 : 18 → √324 = 18 → 18 + 1 = 19 ❌
196 : 13 → √196 = 14 → 14 + 1 = 15 ❌
216 : 15 → √216 ≈ 14.7 → 14.7 + 1 ≈ 15.7 ❌
Therefore, the correct matching pair is — ✅ 256 : 17
