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 =  42 × 2 = 32
In the second row: (36 – 24)2 × 2 =  122 × 2 = 288
Similarly, follow the same pattern in the third row: (49 – 37)2 × 2 =  122 × 2 = 288

So, from the above, 288 is the required number of the given figure. Hence, the second option is correct.
