Bheja Fry Question

 This Bheja Fry question I found when I was browsing internet.

Question 

If          9   +     1     =      64

            8    +     2     =      36

            7     +     3      =      16

Then 

            6     +      4       =     ??  

Answer 

We know 9  +   1   is 10 

but given answer as   64

We know 64 is the square of 8

==>>    9   -    1     =    8    

==>>      8  ^  2      =   64

So, we rewrite    9   -   1    =   64

We know   8   +    2    is      10

But given answer is     36

We know 36 is the square of 6

==>>    8   -  2  =   6  

==>>     6   ^  2  =  36

So, we rewrite    8  -  2   =   36

We know   7  +  3  =  10

But given  7  +  3  =  16

We know 16 is the square of  4

==>>    7  -  3    =    4

==>>     4  ^   2  =   16

So, we write   7  +  3   =   16

Finally        6   +    4    =  ??

We know     6   +   4   is   10

But according to logic it is not the answer  !!!

We know   6  -   4  =   2

==>>   2  ^  2  =  4

So we rewrite      6  +    4   =   4
