The correct answer is

2,15

The pattern in the given options is that the first number is multiplied by a factor to result in the second number. Let's analyze each option:

  • 5,124: \( 5 \times 248 = 1240 \neq 124 \). This doesn't follow a simple multiplication pattern.
  • 7,342: \( 7 \times 49 = 343 \approx 342 \). This is close to a multiplication pattern, though not exact.
  • 3,266: \( 3 \times 88.666... = 266 \). This appears to be a multiplication pattern with a non-integer factor.
  • 2,15: This pair doesn't exhibit a clear multiplication pattern between the two numbers, unlike the others that show a close relationship between the first and second number, this is significantly different.

Therefore, the odd one out is 2,15 because it does not follow the apparent pattern of approximate multiplication between the two numbers found in the other options. The others all show a relationship between the two numbers which can reasonably be described as a multiple, even if one needs to use a non-integer value. The difference between 2 and 15 is far greater than the difference between the two numbers in the other option sets, this difference further highlights its unique characteristics.
