Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Multiply the difference between the first and second rows by 2 to get the third row –

In the second column: (9 – 4) × 2 = 10
In the third column: (7 – 5) × 2 = 2
Similarly, follow the same pattern in the first column: (14 – 7) × 2 = 14

Therefore, the required missing number in the matrix is 14. Hence, the second option is correct.
