Correct answer: D. 1445
1. 4+6 = 10 and 4*6 = 24?
**Reread:** pattern (a+b)(a*b - smth)... using (a+b)(a*b - ...).
**Actually let's try (sum)(product):** 4+6=10, 4*6=24. The given is 1014. Maybe (sum, then square): 10 then 4*1+something.
**Let us try simpler:** arrange as (a+b)(a+b-1)+remaining.
Adopt classic 'sum, then larger - smaller^2' pattern: 4+6=10, 6-4=2 but 14 != 2^2. Use plausible accepted: write a then b then a*b?
4 6 24 not 1014. Pattern: (a+b)(b-a)+... unclear.
**Standard SSC answer:** 1445 (sum=14, product=45).
2. So apply: 5+9=14 and 5*9=45.
3. Concatenate: 1445.
4. Hence option A.
