Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 23

Understanding Application

The logic which follows here is:

Addition of the number which is given in columns.

And Multiply the sum with 2.

1. 10 + 5 + 6 = 21

21 × 2 = 42

2. 17 + 3 + 14 = 34

34 × 2 = 68

In the same way.

8 + 15 + x = 23 + x

92 ÷ 2 = 46

23 + x = 46

x = 46 -23

x = 23.
