Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

(2, 2, 4)

(1, 6, 6)

(7, 2, ?)

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)

Answer 1

Given:

(2, 2, 4)

(1, 6, 6)

(7, 2, ?)

Logic: 'Row wise'

First row → Third no. = [First no. × Second no.]

First row (2, 2, 4) →

⇒ (2 × 2) = 4

Second row (1, 6, 6) →

⇒ (1 × 6) = 6

Similarly, for the third row (7, 2, ?) →

⇒ (7 × 2) = 14

Here, the missing number is '14'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".
