Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Correct Option: 1

Let's look at A first.

From

149

175

, the difference is

26

\newline

From

175

203

, the difference is

28

\newline

We can see the difference increases by 2, hence

?

should be

203+30=233.

\newline

Hence, A matches (IV). We can eliminate Options 3 and 4.

In both Options 1 and 2, B matches (III).

If someone approaches by solving B first, then we can see that the

?

must be a number which is square of

3

i.e

9

\newline

3^2=9

\newline

9^2=81

\newline

81^2=6561

C is a bit tricky.

\newline

0 can be written as

1^3-1=0

\newline

7 can be written as

2^3-1=8-1=7

\newline

26 can be written as

3^3-1=27-1=26

\newline

Hence,

?

should be

4^3-1=64-1=63.

\newline

C matches (I).

D can be solved as

\newline

9+2^2=13

\newline

13+3^2=22

\newline

22+4^2=38

\newline

Hence,

?

should be

38

\newline

D matches (II).

Option 1 is the only one to have all these matches so far, hence it's the answer.
