Question
If 59 # 35 = 21 and 76 # 42 = 29, then 94 # 85 =
?Solution
The logic followed here is as follows: Sum of 1st and 2nd digit of 1st number is subtracted from the 2nd number to get the 3rd number. 59 # 35 → [35 - (5 + 9)] = [35 – 14] = 21 76 # 42 → [42 - (7 + 6)] = [42 – 13] = 29 Similarly, 94 # 85 → [85 - (9 + 4)] = [85 – 13] = 72.
