Question:

Find the missing pair:  

\[ (8,24),\ (48,120),\ (168,288),\ (360,528),\ \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \]

Show Hint

For ordered-pair series, factorize the numbers. Hidden products of consecutive integers or even numbers frequently generate the pattern.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: The pairs are generated from products of consecutive even numbers.

Step 1:
Factorize the first components. \[ 8=2\times4 \] \[ 48=6\times8 \] \[ 168=12\times14 \] \[ 360=18\times20. \]

Step 2:
Factorize the second components. \[ 24=4\times6 \] \[ 120=10\times12 \] \[ 288=16\times18 \] \[ 528=22\times24. \] The factors continue in increasing even-number pairs.

Step 3:
Find the next pair. Next products: \[ 28\times30=840 \] and \[ 30\times32=960. \] Thus the required pair is \[ \boxed{(840,960)}. \]
