Direction: In each of the following questions, two rows of numbers are given. The resultant number in each row is to be worked out separately based on the following rules and the question below the rows of numbers are to be answered. The operations of numbers progress from left to right.

Rules:

i) If a number which is divisible by 3 is followed by an odd number then they are to be multiplied.

ii) If a number which is divisible by 3 is followed by an even number then they are to be added.

iii) If a number which is not divisible by 3 is followed by an odd number then smaller number is to be subtracted from larger number.

iv) If a number which is not divisible by 3 is followed by an even number then they are to be added.

8 6 1

11 3 2

Explanation:

Correct option:3

Solution:

8 6 1

11 3 2

In first row:-

8 is not divisible by 3 and 6 is an even number, so condition 4 applies 8 + 6 = 14
Now, 14 is not divisible by 3 and 1 is an odd number, so condition 3 applies=> 14 - 1 = 13
So, the resultant of the first row is 13.
In the second row:-11 is not divisible by 3 and 3 is an odd number, so condition 3 applies =>11 - 3 = 8
Now, 8 is not divisible by 3 and 2 is an even number, so condition 4 applies => 8 + 2 = 10
So, the resultant of the second row is 10. Thus, we get 13 -10 = 3.

Hence, the correct answer is '3'.
