Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

(6, 2, 34)

(1, 5, 13)

(9, 1, ?)

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)

Answer 1

Logic : (1st number × 2nd number × 3) - 2 = (3rd number )

So,

6 × 2 × 3 - 2 = 34

36 - 2 = 34 (LHS = RHS)

And,

1 × 5 × 3 - 2 = 13

13 = 13 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly,

9 × 1 × 3 - 2 = ?

27 - 2 = ?

25 = ?

Hence, "25" is the correct answer.
