Question

From the given three stars, find the mathematical connections between the numbers in each and every star.

• A.
• B.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

• From the first star we observe that

1. The number in the top, $12=3\times \left(4\right)$
2. The number in the bottom, $7=3+\left(4\right)$

• From the second star we observe that

1. The number in the top, $-12=3\times (-4)$
2. The number in the bottom, $-1=3+(-4)$

• From the third star we observe that

1. The number in the top, $12=(-3)\times (-4)$
2. The number in the bottom, $-7=(-3)+(-4)$

In all the three stars we observe the following pattern:

• The number in the top is obtained by multiplying the numbers in the East and West.
• The number in the bottom is obtained by adding the numbers in the East and West.
