25 is related to 176 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 32 is related to 256. To which of the following is 48 related, following the same logic? (Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the given pairs:
- 25 is related to 176
- 32 is related to 256

Step 2: Check if the second number is related to the square of the first number:
- 25 squared = 625, which is not 176
- 32 squared = 1024, which is not 256

Step 3: Check if the second number is related to the cube of the first number:
- 25 cubed = 15625, which is not 176
- 32 cubed = 32768, which is not 256

Step 4: Check if the second number is related to the first number multiplied by a constant:
- 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176)
- 32 * 8 = 256 (exact)

Step 5: Check if the second number is the first number squared plus the first number:
- 25^2 + 25 = 625 + 25 = 650 (not 176)
- 32^2 + 32 = 1024 + 32 = 1056 (not 256)

Step 6: Check if the second number is the first number squared minus the first number:
- 25^2 - 25 = 625 - 25 = 600 (not 176)
- 32^2 - 32 = 1024 - 32 = 992 (not 256)

Step 7: Check if the second number is the first number multiplied by the next integer:
- 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176)
- 32 * 8 = 256 (exact)

Step 8: Since 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176), maybe the logic is first number * (first number - 18):
- 25 * (25 - 18) = 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176)
- 32 * (32 - 24) = 32 * 8 = 256 (exact)

Step 9: Check for 48:
- 48 * (48 - 24) = 48 * 24 = 1152 (not in options)

Step 10: Try another approach: Check if the second number is the first number squared plus the first number multiplied by a constant:
- 25^2 + 25 * 3 = 625 + 75 = 700 (not 176)
- 32^2 + 32 * 3 = 1024 + 96 = 1120 (not 256)

Step 11: Check if the second number is the first number squared divided by a constant:
- 25^2 / 9 = 625 / 9 ≈ 69.44 (not 176)
- 32^2 / 4 = 1024 / 4 = 256 (matches)

Step 12: So for 25, 176 is close to 25^2 - 49 = 625 - 449 = 176 (actually 625 - 449 = 176)
- 25^2 - 449 = 176
- 32^2 - 768 = 256

Step 13: Check if the second number is the first number squared minus the first number multiplied by 7:
- 25^2 - 25 * 7 = 625 - 175 = 450 (not 176)
- 32^2 - 32 * 7 = 1024 - 224 = 800 (not 256)

Step 14: Try to find a simpler relation:
- 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176)
- 32 * 8 = 256 (exact)

Step 15: So the logic might be: second number = first number * (first number / 4)
- 25 * (25 / 4) = 25 * 6.25 = 156.25 (not 176)
- 32 * (32 / 4) = 32 * 8 = 256 (matches)

Step 16: For 48:
- 48 * (48 / 4) = 48 * 12 = 576 (not in options)

Step 17: Another approach: Check if the second number is the first number squared plus the first number multiplied by 4:
- 25^2 + 25 * 4 = 625 + 100 = 725 (not 176)
- 32^2 + 32 * 4 = 1024 + 128 = 1152 (not 256)

Step 18: Check if the second number is the first number squared minus the first number multiplied by 3:
- 25^2 - 25 * 3 = 625 - 75 = 550 (not 176)
- 32^2 - 32 * 3 = 1024 - 96 = 928 (not 256)

Step 19: Since 32 is related to 256, which is 16 squared, and 25 is related to 176, check if the second number is the square of half the first number:
- Half of 25 is 12.5, 12.5^2 = 156.25 (close to 176)
- Half of 32 is 16, 16^2 = 256 (matches)

Step 20: For 48:
- Half of 48 is 24, 24^2 = 576 (not in options)

Step 21: Check if the second number is the first number multiplied by the next even number:
- 25 * 7 = 175 (close to 176)
- 32 * 8 = 256 (matches)

Step 22: For 48:
- 48 * 8 = 384 (option 4)

Therefore, the answer is 384.
