Answer
Correct Answer: 25 : 625
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The mapping is “n → n^2”. Since 11 → 121 (= 11^2), we select the pair that is also number → its square.
Concept / Approach:Check each right-hand value for being the exact square of the left-hand number.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- 5 : 115 — 5^2 = 25, not 115.
- 6 : 180 — 6^2 = 36, not 180.
- 26 : 188 — 26^2 = 676, not 188.
- None of these — invalid since “25 : 625” is correct.
Final Answer:25 : 625
