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

First row - 6, 9, 90

Second row - 12, 8, 120

Third row - 13, 6, ?

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding / subtracting / multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)

Answer 1

The pattern followed here is:

Logic: (First term + Second term) × 6 = Third term

Now apply the pattern on the given rows:

First row - 6, 9, 90

(6 + 9) × 6 = 90

15 × 6 = 90

90 = 90

Second row - 12, 8, 120

(12 + 8) × 6 = 120

20 × 6 = 120

120 = 120

Third row - 13, 6, ?

(13 + 6) × 6 = ?

19 × 6 = ?

114.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Mistake PointsOperations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.

E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed.

Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.
