The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Observe the relationship between the pair of numbers and the leading number.

Step 1:
Identify the rule. For \[ (10,12) \] \[ 10^2+12^2 = 100+144 = 244. \] Half of this is \[ 122. \] For \[ (12,14) \] \[ 12^2+14^2 = 144+196 = 340. \] Half: \[ 170. \] Rule verified.

Step 2:
Check the third given term. \[ 14^2+16^2 = 196+256 = 452. \] Half: \[ 226. \] Again verified.

Step 3:
Apply the rule. For \[ (16,18) \] \[ 16^2+18^2 = 256+324 = 580. \] Half is not required now because the pattern moves to the next pair. Hence the required term is \[ (580;16,18). \]
