In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the firstnumber. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituentdigits.

10 , 99
21, 440

A.

30, 899

B.

3, 23

C.

26, 298

D.

15, 285

Correct option is A

Given:
10 → 99
21 → 440
Logic: The square of 1st number - 1 = 2nd number.
10 → 99
102-1 = 100 - 1 = 99
21 → 440
212- 1 = 441 - 1 = 440
Let's check all the options: 
Option (A) 30 → 899
302- 1 = 900 - 1 = 899 (Follow)
Option (B) 3 → 23
32- 1 = 9 - 1 = 8 (Not follow)
Option (C) 26 → 298
262- 1 = 676 - 1 = 675 (Not follow)
Option (D) 15 → 285
152- 1 = 225 - 1 = 224(Not follow)
Thus, the correct option is (A) 30, 899.
