In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by performing certain mathematical operations on the first number. What numbers should replace X and Y so that the pattern followed by the two numbers to the left of :: is the same as the pattern followed by the two numbers to the right of ::? (Note: Operations must be performed on whole numbers, without breaking the numbers into their component digits. For example, operations must be performed on 13 as a whole; breaking 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing operations on them is not permitted.) X : 85 :: 36 : Y
- 1X = 44, Y = 73
- 2X = 43, Y = 77
- 3X = 42, Y = 71
- 4X = 42, Y = 73✓
