Question

If 4 * 7 * 2 = 361 and 5 * 9 * 1 = 480, then

2 * 1 * 3 = ?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

102

The pattern is to subtract 1 from each digit and concatenate.

Check: \(4*7*2 \rightarrow (4-1)(7-1)(2-1) = 361\) and \(5*9*1 \rightarrow (5-1)(9-1)(1-1) = 480\). Both match.

Apply to \(2*1*3\): digits become \((2-1)(1-1)(3-1) = 1,0,2\), giving 102.
