Find the rule from the table below:

-
B
Subtract 3
The correct answer is "Subtract 3".
Please Note:
Subtraction is the operation that decreases a number by taking away from it.
Solution:
To find the correct rule, we consider the given table.
We observe that the given rule makes each number decrease. This implies subtraction.
We try subtracting 3 from each input number:
11 - 3 = 8
8 - 3 = 5
4 - 3 = 1
6 - 3 = 3
On subtracting 3 from the input numbers, we get the corresponding output numbers.
So, the rule is “subtract 3”.
