Read the given pattern carefully and tell which number will come in place of the question mark(?):
Looking at the given pattern of numbers, we can observe the following:
- First column: \( 7 + 5 = 12 \)
- Second column: \( 8 + 6 = 14 \)
- Third column: \( 2 + ? = 8 \) Thus, \( 2 + ? = 8 \), and the missing number is \( 8 - 2 = 6 \).
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 2.
