SSC MTS Previous Year - 02 August 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q96

Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 42

Understanding Application

In each row:

4th number = 3 × (Sum of first 3 numbers)

3 × (7 + 6 + 3) = 3 × 16 = 48

3 × (4 + 9 + 8) = 3 × 21 = 63

3 × (2 + 5 + 7) = 3 × 14 = 42

Hence, 42 is the missing number.
