Study the table given carefully and choose the correct number option that shall come in place of '?':
| 5 | 14 | 12 |
| 48 | 135 | ? |
| 8 | 9 | 10 |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 130
In a number table the rule is found from the complete columns and then applied to the incomplete one. Here the middle number of each column is the bottom number multiplied by one more than the top number:
Column 1: \(8\times(5+1)=8\times6=48\)
Column 2: \(9\times(14+1)=9\times15=135\)
Column 3: \(10\times(12+1)=10\times13=130\)
