Third row – 8, 24, ?
Option 1: 48
Option 2: 82
Option 3: 38
Option 4: 65
Correct Answer: 48
Solution :
In each row, multiply the first number by 3 to obtain the second number and multiply the first number by 6 to obtain the third number.
First row
– 14, 42, 84→14 × 3 = 42; 14 × 6 = 84
Second row
– 21, 63,126→21 × 3 = 63; 21 × 6 = 126
Third row
– 8, 24, ?→8 × 3 = 24; 8 × 6 = 48
So, the missing number in the third row is 48. Hence, the first option is correct.
