10 x  7 =  211

22 x  5 = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 331.

 Understanding   Application 

Given:

6 x  5 = 91

⇒(6 x  5) x  3 + 1 = 91

8 x  7 = 169

⇒(8 x 7) x  3 + 1 = 169

10 x  7 =  211

⇒(10 x  7) x  3 + 1 = 211

Similarly,

22 x  5 = ?

⇒(22 x  5) x  3 + 1 = 331

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
