E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as 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)

(4, 5, 83) (5, 5, 102)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (8, 3, 123)

The logic used here is:

(4, 5, 83) = 4 + 5 = 9, 9 × 9 + 2 = 81 + 2 = 83

(5, 5, 102) = 5 + 5 = 10, 10 × 10 + 2 = 100 + 2 = 102

Similarly,

(8, 3, 123) = 8 + 3 = 11, 11 × 11 + 2 = 121 + 2 = 123
