Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the arithmetic relationship between the terms in the given pairs:
First Pair: 22:676
We know that 676=26
2
.
Notice that 26=22+4.
So, the relationship is: (22+4)
2
=26
2
=676.

Third Pair: 2:36
We know that 36=6
2
.
Notice that 6=2+4.
So, the relationship is: (2+4)
2
=6
2
=36.

The general pattern is: Second Term=(First Term+4)
2
.

Second Pair: ?:361
Let the missing number be x.

(x+4)
2
=361
Since 361=19
2
:

x+4=19
x=19−4=15
Hence, the correct option is B.
