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. 15 – 450.

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

Except "15 – 450", all number-pairs follow the same logic.

15 – 450 → (15 × 3) × 15 = 45 × 15 = 675 ≠ 450
