Question

• A. 26
• B. 24
• C. 28
• D. 22

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 26

Observe the pattern:

7 $3 = 7² + 3² = 49 + 9 = 58</p><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;">6$ 2 = 6² + 2² = 36 + 4 = 40

So,

5 $ 1 = 5² + 1²

5²+1²=25+1=26

Therefore, the answer is 26.
