1) 70 : 80 → Ratio of the two numbers is 7 : 8
2) 63 : 72 → Ratio of the two numbers is 9 : 8
3) 28 : 32 → Ratio of the two numbers is 7 : 8
4) 54 : 62 → Ratio of the two numbers is 27 : 31
5) 14 : 16 → Ratio of the two numbers is 7 : 8
Thus, '54 - 62' is the odd one out.
Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
Alternate Method 1) 70 : 80
(70 ÷ 7) + 10; 70 + 10 = 80
2) 63 : 72
63 ÷ 7 = 9; 63 + 9 = 72
3) 28 : 32
28 ÷ 7 = 4; 28 + 4 = 32
4) 54 : 62
54 ÷ 7.7; 54 + 7.7 = 61.7 ≠ 62
5) 14 : 16 → Ratio of the two numbers is 7 : 8
14 ÷ 7 = 2; 14 + 2 = 16
Thus, '54 - 62' is the odd one out.
