  3. 84
  4. 42

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 42

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D) 42 📚 Explanation: The hidden mathematical logic in this puzzle is to combine the two given digits to form a single two-digit number, and then simply divide that number by 2. For example, 6 and 6 make 66; 66 ÷ 2 = 33. Similarly, 7 and 2 make 72; 72 ÷ 2 = 36. Applying this rule to 8 and 4 makes 84. Finally, 84 ÷ 2 gives exactly 42.
