Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 84.

The logic followed here is (First number - 1)  ×  (Second number - 1) = Third number

1. 13 , 7 , 72  =(13  - 1 ) × ( 7 - 1 ) = 12  × 6 = 72  

2. 12 , 6 , 55 = ( 12 - 1 )  ×  ( 6 - 1 ) = 11 × 5 = 55

3. 8 , 13 , ? = ( 8 - 1 ) × ( 13 - 1 ) = 7 × 12 = 84

Hence, the correct answer is '84' i.e Option 4.
