Question

In the following question, a matrix of certain characters is given. These characters follow a certain trend, row-wise or column-wise. Find out this trend and choose the missing character accordingly.

13	54	?
7	45	32
27	144	68

• A. 42
• B. 36
• C. 6
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4

Columns follows a pattern :

Third cell $=$ sum of (1st cell and 2 times 2nd cell) i.e.

$13+2\times 7=27$, the third term.

$54+2\times 45=144$,

$x+2\times 32=68$, implies $x=4$.

Hence, 4 replaces question mark.
