Question

• A. 15
• B. 12
• C. 13
• D. 11

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 13

A simple pattern that fits both equations is:

$a + b = (a \times b) + 7$
]

Check:

• $(3 + 4 \rightarrow (3 \times 4) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19)$

• $(2 + 5 \rightarrow (2 \times 5) + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17)$

So,

$1 + 6 \rightarrow (1 \times 6) + 7 = 6 + 7 = \boxed{13}$

Answer:$(\boxed{13})$
