Competition practiceAnalogy & Classification
  • A75
  • B28
  • C58
  • D94

Step-by-Step Solution

The two digits are multiplied together and the product is added to the number itself. For 36 that is and 18 + 36 = 54; for 47 it is and 28 + 47 = 75. The trap 28 stops at the product and forgets to add, but the product for 36 is 18 and not 54. 58 adds the digit sum instead, and 36 + 9 = 45, while 94 simply doubles 47, where doubling 36 gives 72.
Answer: A) 75
