Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 24 : 529

Understanding

Check the options:

1) 25 : 676

252 + (25 x 2 + 1) = 676

2) 21 : 484

212 + (21 x 2 + 1) = 484

3) 24 : 529

242 + (24 x 2 + 1) = 625

This is the incorrect match. Hence, this is the odd one out.

302 + (30 x 2 + 1) = 961

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
