Which number should replace the question mark?
| 14 | 17 | 22 |
| 49 | 61 | ? |
| 189 | 237 | 317 |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 81
Read the table down each column: every number is four times the number above it, minus 7.
Column 1: \(14\times4-7=49\) and \(49\times4-7=189\)
Column 2: \(17\times4-7=61\) and \(61\times4-7=237\)
Column 3: \(22\times4-7=81\), and \(81\times4-7=317\) confirms it
