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

First row - 67, 25, 101

Second row - 55, 17, 97

Third row - 45, 19, ?

(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)

Answer 1

The logic followed here is:

(First number × 3) - (Second number × 4) = Third number

First row - 67, 25, 101 → (67 × 3) - (25 × 4) = 201 - 100 = 101

Second row - 55, 17, 97 → (55 × 3) - (17 × 4) = 165 - 68 = 97

Similarly,

Third row - 45, 19, ? → (45 × 3) - (19 × 4) = 135 - 76 = 59

Hence, option 4) is the correct answer.
