Raiyan replied ,
Here , 4 = 4 .
Now , about this situation , 3 might be equal to 5 in many ways . In a place , I heard someone about asking this question . He said 3 = 5 because , 3(three) have five letters . In this case , 4(four) has four letters . So, 4=4 .
Anyone , If my answer is correct pls let me know .

Two things to say here.
1. There is not enough information in this problem statement.
2. I don't know about others but I personally think, these sort of posts do not help the impression of this forum. I encourage people to discuss such problems with their teachers and friends and post here only if they cannot solve it on their own.

(3+2)=5
(4+2)=6

In my opinion, your question statement is incomplete. This information is not enough to deduce a stable answer. There are hundreds of possibilities that could be here.
What I can deduce from this piece of information is that three has five letters so 3 = 5, this would mean that four is equal to four. 4 = 4.
The questions could also be answered as above that 3 + 2 = 5, so 4 + 2 = 6
Again, there is no stable answer until there is a better explanation of the question.
