Q1. If 9 + 7 = 58 and 3 + 11 = 124, then 13 + 5 is equal to:
Explanation
The pattern is not ordinary addition. In each expression, square the second number and then add the first number. Thus 9 + 7 is read as 7 squared plus 9, giving 49 + 9 = 58. Similarly, 3 + 11 gives 121 + 3 = 124. Applying the same rule, 13 + 5 gives 25 + 13 = 38. The values 65, 31, and 36 come from using a different operation and do not match both given examples.
