Question

Out of the number pairs listed below, three are alike in the way they are related to each other. Select the odd one.

A.

​20 : 5

B.

​36 : 6

C.

​56 : 8

D.

​42 : 7

Correct option is B

Logic: For each pairs, subtract 1 from the second number and then multiply it by the second number to get the first number.
Explanation:​ 
(a) 20 : 5\rightarrow5 ×\times (5 - 1) = 5 ×\times 4 = 20​
(b) ​36 : 6\rightarrow×\times​  (6 - 1) = 6 ×\times​ 5 = 30 \neq​ 36​
(c) ​56 : 8\rightarrow×\times​ (8 - 1) = 8 ×\times​ 7 = 56​
(d) ​42 : 7\rightarrow×\times​ (7 - 1) = 7 ×\times​ 6 = 42
So, only the second option does not follow the same pattern.
Thus the correct answer is (b).
