Number Puzzles Questions

From all the hints given, 

only 042 satisfies and it unlocks the key.

How ?

7*6 = 4 2
9*9 = 8 1
5*3 = 1 5
6*2 = 1 2

The given puzzle follows a logic that,

2 + 10 = 24 => 2 + 10 = 12 x 2 = 24

3 + 6 = 27 => 3 + 6 = 9 x 3 = 27

7 + 2 = 63 = 7 + 2 = 9 x 7 = 63

Similarly, 5 + 3 = 40 => 5 + 3 = 8 x 5 = 40.

As you move down, the numbers represent multiples of 12,subtracting 1 for the first step,adding 2 for the second, subtracting 3 for the third, adding 4 for the next ect.ect

The given number puzzle can be soved in two ways.

Logic 1 ::

Row 1  - 2 x 3 = 6 , 6 x 3 = 18

Row 2  - 4 x 5 = 20 , 20 x 5 = 100

Row 3  - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

Logic 2 ::

Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18

Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100

Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.

If you add all the terms of the LHS of equality, then the last letter of the sum written in words would give you the RHS.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 = FOUR

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 = EIGHT

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 = TWELVE

4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = SIXTEEN

So, following the same pattern.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 = TWENTY

That gives us our answer to 5 5 5 5 =  "Y".

Here in the above puzzle,

Consider the columns.

Column 1 = Row 1 + Row 2 = Row 3

That is,

44 + 12 = 56

Similarly,

48 + 30 = 78

Hence, 14 + 51 = 65.

Hence, the missing number in the given puzzle = 65.

Observe that in each column, square of sum of digits in the first row = Respective second row elements.

In the same way, square of sum of digits in the second row = Respective third row elements.

=> 6+42=102=100

=> 4+92=132=169

=> 8+12=92=81.
