The correct answer is

(178, 308)

Finding the Different Number-Pair Relationship

This question asks us to identify the specific number-pair among the given options that does not follow the same relationship as the others. We need to carefully examine the connection between the two numbers in each pair.

Analyzing the Relationship: Calculating Differences

A common way to find relationships between numbers in a pair is to calculate the difference between the second number and the first number. Let's apply this method to each pair:

  • Pair 1: (215, 338)
    • Calculation: The difference is $338 - 215 = 123$.
  • Pair 2: (178, 308)
    • Calculation: The difference is $308 - 178 = 130$.
  • Pair 3: (169, 292)
    • Calculation: The difference is $292 - 169 = 123$.
  • Pair 4: (11, 134)
    • Calculation: The difference is $134 - 11 = 123$.

Identifying the Unique Number-Pair

After calculating the differences for all the number-pairs, we can observe a pattern:

  • The pairs (215, 338), (169, 292), and (11, 134) all show a difference of 123. This indicates a consistent relationship where the second number is 123 greater than the first.
  • The pair (178, 308) has a difference of 130.

Since the difference of 130 is unique and different from the common difference of 123 found in the other three pairs, the number-pair (178, 308) shares a different relationship.
