Question

Identify the relation between the numbers and find the missing number.

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4

Let us find the relation between the first two rows.

Observing the first row, we get:
8 - 3 = 5


Observing the second row, we get:
6 - 4 = 2

So, we observe that in a row:
Number in the second column = 2 $\times$ Number in the first column

∴ In the third row, number in the last column will be the difference of the numbers in the first two columns.

So, following the same rule, we get:
9 - 5 = 4



∴ The final pattern will look like:

Hence, the missing number is 4.
