Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
(6, 1, 18)
(5, 4, 60)
(6, 2, ?)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 36.
(6, 1, 18) ⇒ (6 × 1) × 3 = 18
(5, 4, 60) ⇒ (5 × 4) × 3 = 60
Similarly, (6, 2, ?) ⇒ (6 × 2) × 3 = 36
