If the sum of number-clusters 395 and 727 is represented as 101112; and by the same code, the sum of number-clusters 276 and 957 is represented as 111213, then which of the following will be code for sum of number-clusters 689 and 877?

If the sum of number-clusters 395 and 727 is represented as 101112; and by the same code, the sum of number-clusters 276 and 957 is represented as 111213, then which of the following will be code for sum of number-clusters 689 and 877? Correct Answer 141516

The logic followed here is,

In 395 and 727

3 + 7 = 10

9 + 2 = 11

5 + 7 = 12

So, 395 and 727 is represented as 101112.

And,

In 276 and 957

2 + 9 = 11

7 + 5 = 12

6 + 7 = 13

So, 276 and 957 is represented as 111213.

Similarly,

In 689 and 877

6 + 8 = 14

8 + 7 = 15

9 + 7 = 16

Hence, 689 and 877 is represented as ‘141516’.

While solving a problem on addition, ‘234 + 42’, a student said aloud: “If it were 40 then it would be 244, 254, 264, 274 but its 42, so it will be 274 + 2 = 276", therefore 234 + 42 is 276. Which one of the following statements is correct for the strategy used by the student?
