Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5

Understanding Application

(2nd row x 3rd row) - 1st row = 4th row

1st column:

(8 x 4) - 29 = 32 - 29 = 3

2nd column:

(11 x 7) - 71 = 77 - 71 = 6

Similarly, for 3rd column:

(14 x ?) - 67 = 3

⇒ (14 x ?) = 70

⇒ ? = 5
