Correct Answer: 5


Solution : The pattern is observed in a vertical direction along the columns.
Second column: (8 + 1) × (6 + 1) = 9 × 7 = 63
Third column: (11 + 1) × (5 + 1) = 12 × 6 = 72
Similarly, First column: Let the missing number be a.
⇒ (a + 1) × (7 + 1) = 48
⇒ (a + 1) × 8 = 48
⇒ (a + 1) = 48 ÷ 8
⇒ (a + 1) = 6
⇒ a = 6 – 1
​​​​​​​⇒ a = 5

So, 5 is the missing number. Hence, the second option is correct.
