Question

If 3 & 4 = 25 and 5 & 2 = 29, then find the value of 6 & 3 =?

• A. 36
• B. 54
• C. 42
• D. 45

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 45

Assuming the first expression is 4 & 3 = 25 (since "1f3" appears to be a typo), a simple pattern is:

$a \& b = a^2 + b^2$

Check:

• $(4 \& 3 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25)$

• $(5 \& 2 = 5^2 + 2^2 = 25 + 4 = 29)$

Therefore,

$6 \& 3 = 6^2 + 3^2 = 36 + 9 = 45$

Answer: 45
