Question
If 3 # 2 # 6 = 53 and 7 # 1 # 4 = 66, then what is the
value of P in P # 5 # 8 = 289?Solution
The pattern followed is as shown below:  3² + 2³ + 6² = 9 + 8 + 36 = 53 And, 7² + 1³ + 4² = 49 + 1 + 16 = 66 Similarly, P² + 5³ + 8² = 289 P² + 125 + 64 = 289 P2 = 289 – 189 P2 = 100 P = 10 Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
