Correct Answer: 23
Solution :
Given:
(5, 2, 9) (13, 5, 38) (14, 3, ?)
The sum of the first number and the square of the second number is equal to the third number –
Like in, (5, 2, 9)→5 + 2
2
= 5 + 4 = 9
And in, (13, 5, 38)→13 + 5
2
= 13 + 25 = 38
Similarly, by following the same pattern for (14, 3, ?)→14 + 3
2
= 14 + 9 = 23
So, the required missing number is 23. Hence, the first option is correct.
