(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. 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)
(10, 5, 52)
(35, 7, 250)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (8, 4, 34).

Logic : (First number × Second number) =  Third number - (First number ÷ Second number)

(10, 5, 52) ⇒ 10 × 5 = 52 - (10 ÷ 5)

50 = 52 - 2

50 = 50 (LHS = RHS)

(35, 7, 250) ⇒ 35 × 7 = 250 - (35 ÷ 7)

245 = 250 - 5

245 = 245 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly, (8, 4, 34) ⇒ 8 × 4 = 34 - (8 ÷ 4)

32 = 34 - 2

32 = 32 (LHS = RHS)
