45 ? 80

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 55.

The logic used here is:

Column 1: ​​(9 + 6) × 3 = 15 × 3 = 45

Column 3: ​​(12 + 8) × 4 = 20 × 4 = 80

Similarly;

Column 2: ​​(8 + 3) × 5 = 11 × 5 = 55

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
