Correct Answer: 288
Solution : Square the difference between column one and column two and multiply the resultant by 2 to get the third column –
In the first row: (16 – 12)
2
× 2 = 4
2
× 2 = 32
In the second row: (36 – 24)
2
× 2 = 12
2
× 2 = 288
Similarly, follow the same pattern in the third row: (49 – 37)
2
× 2 = 12
2
× 2 = 288
So, from the above, 288 is the required number of the given figure. Hence, the second option is correct.
