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.

3	15	4
7	38	5
3	?	5

• A. $15$
• B. $18$
• C. $19$
• D. $20$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $18$

It follows a pattern :

1st cell $\times$ 3rd cell $+3=$ 2nd cell value.

$(3\times 4)+3=15$,

$(7\times 5)+3=38$,

$(3\times 5)+3=18$.

Hence, 18 replaces the question mark '?'
