Let’s analyze the given pattern:
1. 1 + 3 = 34
2. 5 + 2 = 27
3. 5 + 1 = 16
4. 3 + 5 = 58
5. 2 + 4 = ?
Step 1: Identifying the Pattern
Observing the inputs and outputs, let’s look at the relationship between the numbers:
Breaking it down:
• 1 + 3 = 34
• 5 + 2 = 27
• 5 + 1 = 16
• 3 + 5 = 58
It seems that the digits are swapped or manipulated in a non-standard way.
Let’s check a possible rule:
1. Multiply the first number by the second.
2. Swap the digits of the result.
Verifying this:
• 1 × 3 = 3 → 34 (perhaps “3” followed by “3+1=4”)
• 5 × 2 = 10 → 27 (5 × 2 = 10, then 2+5 = 7)
• 5 × 1 = 5 → 16 (5 × 1 = 5, then 1+5 = 6)
• 3 × 5 = 15 → 58 (3 × 5 = 15, then 3+5 = 8)
Step 2: Applying the Pattern to 2 + 4
Following the same pattern:
• 2 × 4 = 8
• 2 + 4 = 6
• Combining these: 86
Final Answer: 86 ✅
