Let’s get right to it.

- Here’s what’s happening: 11 : 81. If you notice, 81 is 9 squared. So maybe it goes like this… But wait, 11 squared is 121, not 81.

- Let’s try something else: 8 : 36. 36 is 6 squared. 12 squared is 144, but 8 squared is 64.

- Looks like maybe we’re pairing numbers to their squares minus 2? Nah, that doesn’t fit.

- Let me look at spacing: 11 (to) 9, 8 (to) 6. Both times, you subtract 2. And square the result:

11 - 2 = 9, 9² = 81

8 - 2 = 6, 6² = 36

- Now, applying this to ? : 121, we need a number where (number - 2)² = 121.

- The square root of 121 is 11, so number - 2 = 11, which gives the number as 13.

Let’s check your answer:

- Option 1: 13

- Option 2: 12

- Option 3: 10

- Option 4: 18

So, the correct answer is option 1: 13.
