Question

Study the given patterns, and find the missing number.

• A. 20
• B. 45
• C. 40
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is D 25

Numbering the letters of the alphabet, we get:


Now, adding up the number of each letter, we get:

$W+T=23+20=43Q+Y=17+25=42T+U=20+21=41$

Hence, the numbers in each circle are simply the sum of the numbers of the letters in the same circle.

So, the missing number can be found as:

Missing number
$=K+N=11+14=25$

Hence, the missing number is 25.
