Question

A set of figures carrying certain characters is given below. Assuming that the characters in each set follow same pattern, find the missing character

• A. 127
• B. 142
• C. 146
• D. 182

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To find the missing character in the pattern, we need to derive a relationship between the numbers in the first figure.

Consider the first figure:

• Top: 101
• Bottom: 35
• Left: 43
• Right: 15
• Center: 38

Looking for a logical pattern, observe that:

• \((101 - 35) - (43 - 15) = 66 - 28 = 38\)

This confirms the pattern for the first figure.

Now, apply the same logic to the second figure to find the missing number:

• Top: 48
• Bottom: 56
• Left: 34
• Right: 184
• Center: ?

Using the formula:

• \((48 - 56) - (34 - 184)\)
• \(-8 - (-150) = -8 + 150 = 142\)

Thus, the missing number is 142, which matches the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 142
