C. 3
a*b = c
c is the *signle digit sum* of product
4*6 = 24
2+4 = 6
8*8= 64
6+4=10
1+0=1
5*6=30
3+0 = 3

unless question is ambiguous

Ofcourse, i don't want to  myself explaining how I came to this. This one should go in 'Fun Math' though apparently no one saw any fun in this...esp. stretchad!

hik, this problem may be for fun maths or IQ test ..I'm sorry if it takes your precious time
OA is 2.
To find the answer, one needs to compare these weird products with their reasonable versions.
4*12= 48= 6 mod 7
4*12= 6 comes from the above reasoning
8*8= 64 = 1 mod 7
8*8=1 comes from the above reasoning
5*6= 30= 2 mod 7
---> 5*6= 2

You both are Math 'Bombs'! Poor my fellow GMATTakers, because of guys like you, the 'harder' questions in the Q section will move to the 'easy Q's' bin. Very unfair  Glad that I took the exam before you too!

4*6 = 24
2+4 = 6
It was 4*12, not 4*6.
