Answer 2

Answer:

1992 will appear in Column 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The multiples of 3 are arranged in a manner:

To find :   In which column will the number 1992 appear

Solution:

We will first found the row

1992 = 3 * 664

Each row has 4  elements

so 664/4  = 166 Row

Row with odd number are from Left to Right

& Row with Even number are from  Right to left

166 Row  is  Even number row  elements there Would  

3(664)  ,  3(663)   , 3(662)  , 3(661)

Hence 1992 will appear in 1st Column

1992 will appear in Column 1
