Question : Directions: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
| 17 | 41 | ? |
| 15 | 24 | 29 |
| 49 | 106 | 85 |
Option 1: 37
Option 2: 28
Option 3: 32
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 28
Solution : Given:
| 17 | 41 | ? |
| 15 | 24 | 29 |
| 49 | 106 | 85 |
The pattern can be observed running vertically down the columns.
Column 1:
(17 × 2) + 15 = 34 + 15 = 49
Column 2:
(41 × 2) + 24 = 82 + 24 = 106
Column 3:
((?) × 2) + 29 = 85
⇒ ((?) × 2) = 85 – 29
⇒ ((?) × 2) = 56
⇒ (?) = 56 ÷ 2 = 28
So, 28 is the missing term. Hence, the second option is correct.
