Question

Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it. First row: 59, 66, 144 Second row: 37, 58, 82 Third row: 46, 26, ? (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 /deleting /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)

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

The logic followed in the given series is First term x 3 Second term 2 Third term First row 59, 66, 144 59 x 3 66 2 144 177 33 144 144 144 Second row 37, 58, 82 37 x 3 58 2 82 111 29 82 82 82 Third row 46, 26, 46 x 3 26 2 138 13 125 Hence, the correct answer is A.
