Math Puzzle: Solution

In the picture, we see that according to a certain logic.

13 + 6 = 16

22 + 4 = 24

80 + 2 = 82

And 67 + 8 = ??

Only the last step is missing a value

67 + 8  = ??

If you think it’s 75, you are wrong.

Then, what is the correct solution?

Let’s check out.

Now, let’s see the logic behind the solution, which is as follows:

13 + 6 = 16 as per the puzzle, and 22 + 4 = 24

The logic is to take the first digit of the first number and pair it with the second number to get the result.

For e.g.

13 + 6 = 16

Here, only 1 and 6 are taken to form 16.

Similarly, in 22 + 4 = 24, 2 and 4 are combined to make 24.

Therefore, 67 + 8 becomes 68.
