Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(7, 5, 10)
(2, 1, 5)
(16, 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

Given:

(7, 5, 10)

(2, 1, 5)

(16, 6, ?)

Logic: 'Row wise'

First row → Third no. = [(First no. - Second no.) × 5]

First row (7, 5, 10) →

⇒ [(7 - 5) × 5]

⇒ (2 × 5) = 10

Second row (2, 1, 5) →

⇒ [(2 - 1) × 5]

⇒ (1 × 5) = 5

Similarly, for the third row (16, 6, ?) →

⇒ [(16 - 6) × 5]

⇒ (10 × 5) = 50

Here, the question mark is replaced by '50'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
