Logic: First no. = [(Second no.)2 - 2]

Checking all the given options:

(1) 80 : 9 →

⇒ [(9)2 - 1]

⇒ (81 - 1) = 80

(2) 142 : 12 

⇒ [(12)2 - 2]

⇒ (144 - 2) = 142

(3) 23 : 5 

⇒ [(5)2 - 2]

⇒ (25 - 2) = 23

(4) 7 : 3 

⇒ [(3)2 - 2]

⇒ (9 - 2) = 7

Here, in '80 : 9' different logic is followed.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".
