[b] 1+4 = 5 ( 4*1 = 4 , 4-1 =3, 4-3 = 1, 4+1 = 5 )
2+5 = 12 (5*2 = 10, 5-2 = 3, 5-3=2, 10+2 = 12)
3+6 = 21 (3*6 =18, 6-3 =3, 6-3 =3 18+3 = 21)
8+ 11 =96 (8*11=88, 11-8=3, 11-3 =8, 8+88 =96)

21 + 32 ?? how would you solve this without using my method ? NB notice the omitted lines. Except you use MY [/b] method you CANNOT SOLVE
[/b]

Appreciate the logic and move on. No need to try and discredit the ingenuity that went into it albeit it was #softwork
Simply define '+' such that a+b=ab+a or a*(b+1)
QED
However, I retract my statement that it's not a series because it's a series of equation.

1+4=5
2+5=7+5=12
3+6=9+12=21
4+7=11+21=32
5+8=13+32=45
6+9=15+45=60
7+10=17+60=77
Therefore,
8+11=19+77=96
See long journey
(8*11) + 8 = 96

I have a simple formulae..just add 1 to the number on ur right and multiply...8*11+1
8*12=96.. check the previous answers also same formula works add 1 to the number on ur right and multiply with the left..

oluwanoni:
This question in itself is not correct, in mathematics there a lot of logic to an answer, depending on whichever method you use, it would give you a different answer, that is to say those who answered 40 are correct and those who answer 96 can also be correct... lipsrsealed
this is a simple and logical illustration of how programmers embed a backdoor on a programme.

Either answer is correct, that's why in math final answer don't always get you the marks

MissSlimbody:
The answer is 40

1+4 =5
1+4+2+5 =12
1+4+2+5+3+6 =21
1+4+2+5+3+6+8+11 = 40
Hmmm, I see...I was wondering how u guys arrived at 40. There is a problem with this approach it assumes 8+11 is the 4th term while infact it's the 8th term.

You mean the first commenters? I don't think most of them studied modern algebra as a course

Correct Logic

...8 x 11 = 88 + 8 =96

Wrong Logic

8 + (11+21) = 40

Re: The Shocking Maths Many People Failed In An Exam Hall by tartar9(m): 12:05pm On Jul 12, 2016
The real answer is supposed to be 52...those getting 96 are simply extending the inputs.

8*11+8=96. the final answer is 96.

1+4=5
2+5=(5 +7)12
3+6=(12+9)21
8+11=(21+19)40

Ans=40
Re: The Shocking Maths Many People Failed In An Exam Hall by Joe4luv: 12:22pm On Jul 12, 2016
The answer is
96
How did I get that
8*11 = 88
88 + 8 = 96
Re: The Shocking Maths Many People Failed In An Exam Hall by senatrpaichulo(m): 12:24pm On Jul 12, 2016
1+4x1=5
2+5x2=12
3+6x3=21
8+11x4=52
Re: The Shocking Maths Many People Failed In An Exam Hall by Darkgini: 12:30pm On Jul 12, 2016
Alternatively,
1×4=4 +1=5
2×5=10+2=12
3×6=18+3=21
4×7=28+4=32
5×8=40+5=45
6×9=54+6=60
7×10=70+7=77
8×11=88+8=96

tomquest:
1+4=5
2+5=7+5=12
3+6=9+12=21
4+7=11+21=32
5+8=13+32=45
6+9=15+45=60
7+10=17+60=77
Therefore,
8+11=19+77=96
Re: The Shocking Maths Many People Failed In An Exam Hall by Larryton(m): 12:31pm On Jul 12, 2016
The answer is 40 and this is my analysis


1 + 4 =5 2 + 5 + 5(ans) = 12 3 + 6 + 12(ans) = 21 8 + 11 + 21(ans) = 40
