Correct Answer: 35
Solution :
Divide the first number by 8 and multiply the resultant with the second number –
Row I:
(40 ÷ 8) × 57 = 5 × 57 = 285
Row II:
(35 ÷ 8) × 32 = 4.375 × 32 = 140
Similarly, in
Row III:
(X ÷ 8) × 40 = 175
⇒ (X ÷ 8) = 175 ÷ 40
⇒ X = 4.375 × 8
⇒ X = 35
So, the missing number is 35. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
