Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 280.

The logic used here is:

Column 1: ​​(16 + 1) × 23 = 17 × 23 = 391

Column 2: ​​(14 + 1) × 18 = 15 × 18 = 270

Similarly;

Column 3: ​​(19 + 1) × 14 = 20 × 14 = 280

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
