Three pairs are similar on basis of same Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.

The logic followed here is:

First number × 2 - 2 = Second number.

Option 1) 16 - 30 → 16 × 2 ⇒ 32 - 2 = 30 

Option 2) 44 - 84 → 44 × 2 ⇒ 88 - 4 = 84

Option 3) 14 - 26  → 14 × 2 ⇒ 28 - 2 = 26

Option 4) 18 - 34 → 18 × 2 ⇒ 36 - 2 = 34

So, Option 2 doesn't follow the pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
