 adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1
 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)

 (7, 52), (9, 84)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (13, 172).

Logic : ( First Number )2 + 3 = Second Number

⇒(7, 52)

= (7)2 + 3 = 49 + 3 = 52

⇒(9, 84)

= (9)2 + 3 = 81 + 3 = 84

Similarly ,Option 1 follows the same logic

 (13, 172)

= (13)2 + 3 = 169 + 3 = 172

Hence, (13, 172) is the correct answer.
