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

Answer 1

The correct option is C $48$

The sequence in first column is $\times 5$. Thus, $1\times 5=5,5\times 5=25,25\times 5=125.$

The sequence in third column is$\times 2.$ Thus, $7\times 2=14,14\times 2=28,28\times 2=56.$

The sequence in second column is $\times 4.$

$\therefore$ Missing number$=12\times 4=48$
