Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 11 : 111.

 Understanding 

The logic used here is:

1st number × (1st number - 2) = 2nd number

Option 1: 12: 120

12 × (12 - 2) = 12 × 10 = 120

This follows the logic.

Option 2: 13: 143

13 × (13 - 2) = 13 × 11 = 143

This follows the logic.

Option 3: 18: 288

18 × (18 - 2) = 18 × 16 = 288

This follows the logic.

Option 4: 11: 111

11 × (11 - 2) = 11 × 9 = 99

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the odd one out.
