Question

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

14	22	5
18	42	11
22	35	?

1. 7
2. 12
3. 8
4. 9

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8

The logic followed here is:

[2nd number - (1st number / 2)] / 3 = 3rd number.

Row 1: 14, 22, 5

= [22 - (14 / 2)] / 3

= (22 - 7) / 3

= 15 / 3 = 5

Row 2: 18, 42, 11

= [42 - (18 / 2)] / 3

= (42 - 9) / 3

= 33 - 3 = 11

Similarly, 

Row 3: 22, 35, ?

= [35 - (22 / 2)] / 3

= (35 - 11) / 3

= 24 / 3 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is "8".
