Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the value of XY, we need to take the products of the corresponding digits and add them up for each pair: 
1) 1 x 1 = 1
2) 1 x 1 = 1
3) e x e = e^2
4) a x a = a^2
5) 3 x 3 = 9
6) 6 x 7 = 42
7) 9 x 6 = 54

Adding them up: 1 + 1 + e^2 + a^2 + 9 + 42 + 54 = e^2 + a^2 + 107

Now, looking at the answer choices, we can see that only option B provides a value that fits this pattern, as 4903 can be written as e^2 + a^2 + 107 (with e = 7 and a = 2). Therefore, B is the correct choice.
