Find the rule from the table below:

  • A

    Subtract 3

  • B

    Subtract 2

The correct answer is "Subtract 2".


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 2 from each input number:

5 - 2 = 3
10 - 2 = 8
3 - 2 = 1
6 - 2 = 4

On subtracting 2 from the input numbers, we get the corresponding output numbers.

So, the rule is “subtract 2”.
