C) 89 D) 96
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 96

Explanation:

Here in the given number puzzle, the given numbers follows a pattern that 

1 + 4 = 5 => 1 x 4 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 

2 + 5 = 12 => 2 x 5 + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12   

3 + 6 = 21 => 3 x 6 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21

number_puzzle1540890829.jpg image

A) 2 B) 3
C) 0 D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

In the given number puzzle,

Sum of Row 1 = 14

Sum of Row 2 = 23

Sum of Row 3 = 13 + ?

 

Sum of Column 1 = 16 

Sum of Column 2 = 23 

Sum of Column 3 = 11 + ?

 

Diagonal 1 sum = 17

Diagonal 2 sum = 14 + ?

 

From the above analysis,

Sum of Row 2 = Sum of Column 2 = 23

Sum of Row 1 = Sum of Column 3 = 14 = 11 + ?    .............(1)

Sum of Row 3 = Sum of Column 1 = 16 = 13 + ?    .............(2)

Diagonal 1 sum = Diagonal 2 sum = 17 = 14 + ?    .............(3)

  

Hence,

From (1), (2) & (3)

? = 3
