Find the missing number in the table given below.
| 5 | 4 | 41 |
| 6 | 1 | 37 |
| 3 | 7 | ? |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 58
In a number table, find the rule from the complete rows and use it for the incomplete row. Here the third number is the sum of the squares of the first two:
Row 1: \(5^2+4^2=25+16=41\)
Row 2: \(6^2+1^2=36+1=37\)
Row 3: \(3^2+7^2=9+49=58\)
So the missing number is 58.
