Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Given:
Row 1: 5, 6, 2, 4, 81
Row 2: 1, 3, 2, 4, ?
Row 3: 2, 3, 1, 5, 39

The sum of the square of the first four numbers equals the fifth number –
In row 1: 5 2 + 6 2 + 2 2 + 4 2 = 25 + 36 + 4 + 16 = 81
In row 3: 2 2 + 3 2 + 1 2 + 5 2 = 4 + 9 + 1 + 25 = 39
Similarly, follow the same pattern in row 2: 1 2 + 3 2 + 2 2 + 4 2 = 1 + 9 + 4 + 16 = 30

So, the required missing number is 30. Hence, the first option is correct.
