(10, 5, 65) (9, 8, 89)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (4, 5, 29).

(10, 5, 65) ⇒ 10 × 5 = 50 ⇒ 50 + (10 + 5) ⇒ 50 + 15 = 65

(9, 8, 89) ⇒ 9 × 8 = 72 ⇒ 72 + (9 + 8) = 72 + 17 = 89

Similarly, (4, 5, 29) ⇒ 4 × 5 = 20 ⇒ 20 + (4 + 5) = 20 + 9 = 29
