Brain Teaser with Answer

The solution to this brain teaser is as follows:

Given,

9+1= 64

8+2= 36

7+3= 16

6+4= ??

The logic behind this puzzle is as 

9 + 1 = 64

9 - 1 = 8; if we square the number, we obtain 64.

Similarly, if we apply the same logic across the equation, we get the value for the last step as 

6+ 4 = ??

6 - 4 = 2

Squaring the 2 gives 4.

So, the missing value is 4.
