E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /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.)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11 : 35

Logic: (First number × 3) + 3  = Second number

1. 12 : 39 → (12 × 3) + 3 = 36 + 3 = 39

2. 15 : 48 → (15 × 3) + 3 = 45 + 3 = 48

3. 13 : 42 → (13 × 3) + 3 = 39 + 3 = 42

4. 11 : 35  → (11 × 3) + 3 = 33 + 3= 36 ≠ 35
