Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
1. Analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers row-wise. 2. The consistent pattern across the rows is that the sum of the first three numbers multiplied by 2 equals the fourth number. 3. Let's verify the pattern: In Row 1, (4 + 6 + 8) × 2 = 18 × 2 = 36. In Row 2, (2 + 7 + 6) × 2 = 15 × 2 = 30. 4. Applying this logic to Row 3: (5 + 1 + 2) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16. Therefore, the missing number is 16. Final Answer: Option C
