Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 45

Understanding Application

In every column,

(3rd row ÷ 1st row) x 3 = 2nd row

1st column:

(252 ÷ 42) x 3 = 18

2nd column:

(296 ÷ 37) x 3 = 24

Similarly for 3rd column:

(540 ÷ x) x 3 = 36

⇒ x = 45
