Question

3+2=01,5+3=10,4+6=16,8+5=?

Answer 1

Given:

• 3 + 2 = 01
• 5 + 3 = 10
• 4 + 6 = 16

To find: 8 + 5 = ?

Solution:

• 3 + 2 = (3 × 2) - (3 + 2) = 6 - 5 = 1

• 5 + 3 = (5 × 3) - (3 + 2) = 15 - 5 = 10

• 4 + 6 = (4 × 6) - (5 + 3) = 24 - 8 = 16

We see that value of the term is found by subtracting the sum of the previous terms from the product of the terms (in the current term).

• Thus, 8 + 5 = (8 × 5) - (4 + 6)
• = 40 - 10
• = 30

Answer: 8 + 5 = 30.
