Question

Fill in the missing number in the following pattern of numbers.

• A. $12$
• B. $16$
• C. $20$
• D. $24$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $24$

In every row the middle number is one fourth of the product of the rest numbers
$\frac{4\times 2\times 4\times 1}{2}=8$
$\frac{4\times 3\times 1\times 2\times 2\times 1}{4}=12$
$\frac{2\times 4\times 1\times 1\times 2\times 4}{4}=16$
$\frac{1\times 4\times 5\times 2}{4}=10$
$\frac{3\times 1\times 2\times 4\times 1\times 1\times 2\times 2}{4}=24$
Hence, option 'D' is correct.
