    B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed in the given series is: (1st term x 2nd term) – 2nd term = 3rd term   First row: 4, 6, 18 (4 x 6) – 6 = 18 24 – 6 = 18 18 = 18 Second row: 7, 9, 54 (7 x 9) – 9 = 54 63 – 9 = 54 54 = 54 Third row: 8, 5, ? (8 x 5) – 5 = 35 40 – 5 = 35 35 = 35 Hence, the correct answer is (C).
