Find the missing number in the following figure.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 2
In each figure, the number at the top left is the centre number multiplied by the sum of the other three outer numbers.
First figure: \(3\times(5+3+4)=3\times12=36\)
Second figure: \(4\times(3+1+7)=4\times11=44\)
Third figure: \(?\times(5+9+8)=44\), that is, \(?\times22=44\)
So the missing number is \(44\div22=2\)
