Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 51.

Logic: Columnwise: 1st number ×\times 2nd number - 3rd number = 4th number

In 1st column: 9 ×\times 6 = 54 - 4 = 50

In 3rd column: 8 ×\times 7 = 56 - 3 = 53

Similarly,  In the second column: 8 ×\times 7 = 56 - 5 = 51
