correct answer is: option b (49)
Explanation: The relationship between the numbers in the given pair is as follows: The second number is derived from the cube of a number close to the square root of the first number. Specifically, \(80 \approx 9^2\) and \(730 \approx 9^3 + 1\). Applying the same logic to find the missing number: \(344 \approx 7^3 + 1\), so the related number should be close to \(7^2 = 49\).
- Option a: 45 doesn't fit the pattern of being the square root of a number that can then be cubed and have 1 added to it to result 344.
- Option b: 49 fits the pattern. \(7^2 = 49\) and \(7^3 + 1 = 344\)
- Option c: 50 doesn't follow the relationship established in the first pair.
- Option d: 48 doesn't follow the relationship established in the first pair.
