This too is a puzzle instead of a math problem.

As with your other question, arguments could be made for several different answers, and the only way to know the right answer is to ask the author of the puzzle.

Very easy!  The answer is obviously 75.  Here's why:

(a)  6x5=30, substitute in the quadratic expression:

83x%5E2-3137x%2B10800
83%2830%29%5E2-3137%2830%29%2B10800
83%28900%29-94110%2B10800
74700-94110%2B10800
-8610
then divide by -210, get 41

(b)  7+2=9, substitute in the quadratic expression:

83x%5E2-3137x%2B10800
83%289%29%5E2-3137%289%29%2B10800
83%2881%29-28233%2B10800
6723-28233%2B10800
-10710
then divide by -210, get 51

(c)  2+2=4, substitute in the quadratic expression:

83x%5E2-3137x%2B10800
83%284%29%5E2-3137%284%29%2B10800
83%2816%29-12548%2B10800
1328-12548%2B10800
-420
then divide by -210, get 2

(d)  5x5=25, substitute in the quadratic expression:

83x%5E2-3137x%2B10800
83%2825%29%5E2-3137%2825%29%2B10800
83%28625%29-78425%2B10800
51875-78425%2B10800
-15750
then divide by -210, get 75

Simple, huh?  Perfectly logical!  J

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I will apply another logical imitation to get another solution for this puzzle.

Why I so inclined to get another/different solution ? - Because we all love variety. 


In this problem, they want you find the result of the operation " 5×5 ".

As the base, we will use the given operation 6×5 = 41.


    +---------------------------------------------------------------+
    |   We will not use two other operations 7+2 = 51 , 2+2= 2,     |
    |   since they use the addition sign, while we are interested   |
    |      in the multiplication sign.  Therefore, we ignore        |
    |          7+2 = 51 , 2+2= 2, as they are irrelevant,           |
    |     and concentrate/focus on the unique operation 6×5 = 41,   |
    |           since it is only relevant to our goal.              |
    +---------------------------------------------------------------+


We notice that 6×5 = 41  produces the same output value as traditional  6 + 5 + 6*5 = 41.

So, following this notice, we interpret operation  a×b  as  traditional  a + b + ab.


Now we apply this fundamental rule to compute 5×5 = ?

We get  5×5 = 5 + 5 + 5*5 = 10 + 25 = 35.


At this point, the solution to this puzzle is complete, and we get the

       ANSWER.  ? = 35.    J

-------------------------

Acknowledge.

In this my solution,  I followed the logical imitation,  similar to
and firstly discovered and developed by Edwin in his post

https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/equations/Equations.faq.question.1208181.html


Also,  everywhere as possible,  I tried to maintain a humoristic style of  Edwin's writing
in the referred post,  so I hope it will be funny and you will smile,  if you read to the end.


Nothing else is required from a puzzle,  as to smile at the end.

Thanks to Alan for pointing the meaningless of this "problem".

=================
The 1st 3 statements are false.
6*5 is not 41.
No need to waste time on this.
