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.

1	3	7
5	12	14
25	?	28
125	192	56

• A. $64$
• B. $56$
• C. $48$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $48$

Each column follows a different pattern,

First column

$1\times 5=5$,

$5\times 5=25$,

$25\times 5=125$

Second column

$3\times 4=12$,

$12\times 4=48$,

$48\times 4=192$,

Third column

$7\times 2=14$,

$14\times 2=28$,

$28\times 2=56$.

Hence, 48 replaces question mark.
