Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (5,430).

Logic: Second number = [(First number)3 × (First number + 1)]

Checking all the given options:

Option 1. (2, 24) ⇒ [(2)3 × (2 + 1)] ⇒ (8 × 3) = 24

Option 2. (4, 320) ⇒ [(4)3 × (4 + 1)] ⇒ (64 × 5) = 320

Option 3. (5, 430) ⇒ [(5)3 × (5 + 1)] ⇒ (125 × 6) = 750

Option 4. (3, 108) ⇒ [(3)3 × (3 + 1)] ⇒ (27 × 4) = 108

Hence, the correct answer is (5,430).
