If 14#13 = 9 and 27#36 = 18, then find the value of 46#31.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option 1 — 14

Solution:

The operation # means adding the sum of the digits of both numbers.

  • 14 # 13 = (1 + 4) + (1 + 3) = 5 + 4 = 9

  • 27 # 36 = (2 + 7) + (3 + 6) = 9 + 9 = 18

Therefore,

  • 46 # 31 = (4 + 6) + (3 + 1)

  • = 10 + 4

  • = 14

Hence, Option 1 — 14 is the correct answer.
