Answer:
your answer is b) 48
Step-by-step explanation:
In first pattern
15 - 5 × 2 + 6 =80
In second pattern
9-4 × 7+6=65
In third pattern
13-11× 16+8 =48
hope it helps u
The missing number is 48.
Given -
The given sets of figures are showing a pattern of multiples. In the first set, the numbers are multiples of 5: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
In the second set, the numbers are multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36. In the third set, the numbers are multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40.
To find -
The missing number.
Solution -
We can see that in all the sets, the number in the middle is the multiple of the first and last numbers of the set.
- In the first set, the first number is 15 and the last number is 6, so the middle number is 25 which is 5 times 5.
- In the second set, the first number is 9 and the last number is 6, so the middle number is 18 which is 3 times 6.
- In the third set, the first number is 13 and the last number is 8, so the middle number is 24 which is 3 times 8.
Applying this pattern to the question, the first number is 16 and the last number is 11, so the middle number is
(16*11)/2 = 88/2 = 44.
So the missing number is 48.
