Question

Identify the missing number in the given pattern.

• A. 42
• B. 11
• C. 78
• D. 85

Answer 1

The correct option is D 85

Let us find the relationship between the first two rows.


We observe that the difference is increasing each time by one more number.

Now, let's find the relation between the difference and the third row of the given pattern.


So, the third row is the product of the difference of the first and second rows and the number in the first row.

Let's apply the same rule to identify the missing number.


Hence, the missing number in the pattern is 85.
