In the given question, a set of figures carrying certain character is given. Assuming that the characters in each set follow a similar pattern, find the missing character in place of (?).

Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 11
In each circle, the top number is half the product of the two lower numbers:
First circle: \(14\times12=168\), and \(168\div2=84\)
Second circle: \(18\times9=162\), and \(162\div2=81\)
Third circle: \(16\times ?=2\times88=176\), so the missing number is \(176\div16=\) 11
