Question: 1

(A) 25

(B) 48

(C) 59

(D) 73

Ans: D

Clearly, (1st row)3 + (2nd row)3 + (3rd row)3 = 4th row.
So, in the first column, 23 + 13 + 33 = 8 + 1 + 27 = 36.
In the third column, 03 + 43 + 33 = 0 + 64 + 27 = 91.
In the second column, missing number = 43 + 23 + 13 = 64 + 8 + 1 = 73.

(D) 26

Ans: A

In the first column, 2 x 1 + 1 = 3.
In the second column, 14 x 7 + 7 = 105.
Let the missing number in the third column be x.
Then, x + 9 + 9 = 117 or 9x = 108 or x = 12.
