Question

    Study the given pattern carefully and select the number

    that can replace the question mark (?) in it. First row: 14, 12, 108 Second row: 7, 25, 132 Third row: 18, 6, ? (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)
    A 126 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 118 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 98 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed in the given series is: (1st term + 2nd term + 1) x 4 = 3rd term   First row: 14, 12, 108 (14 + 12 + 1) x 4 = 108 27 x 4 = 108 108 = 108 Second row: 7, 25, 132 (7 + 25 + 1) x 4 = 132 33 x 4 = 132 132 = 132 Third row: 18, 6, ? (18 + 6 + 1) x 4 = 100 25 x 4 = 100 100 = 100   Hence, the correct answer is (C).
