Question Details

In a certain code language, a specific mathematical operation is defined such that the addition symbol follows a hidden pattern.

If 14+6=84 and 10+8=80, what will be the result of 12+8?

Options

A

82

B

96

C

84

D

76

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

96

Solution :

The correct option is 96.


Let us analyze the logic/pattern given for the custom addition operation symbol (+) in this code language.


Given first expression:

14+6=84

Notice that if we multiply the two numbers directly:

14×6=84


Given second expression:

10+8=80

Similarly, multiplying the two numbers directly gives:

10×8=80


Therefore, the hidden pattern is that the symbol + actually represents multiplication (×).


Now, applying the same pattern to find the value of 12+8:

12+8=12×8=96


Thus, the result of 12+8 is 96.
