Introduction
In these types of questions different characters/numbers/letters are arranged in a matrix with one term missing or characters are arranged in a wide range of geometrical figures. The characters in such arrangement follow a certain pattern and you are required to identify that pattern so that you can substitute the question mark (?) with a suitable character.
Let us see some examples to understand this concept properly.
Example-1
1. Find the number which replaces the question mark (?).
(a) 39 (b) 42
(c) 45 (d) 55
(e) None of these
Answer (c) is correct.
Explanation: The number obtained by adding the numbers is written inside the figures.
13 + 12 + 9 + 1 = 35.
15 + 13 + 8 + 5 = 41.
16 + 17 + 9 + 3 = 45.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (c).
2. Find the missing number in the given number pattern below.
(a) 25 (b) 21
(c) 19 (d) 14
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: In this pattern, the middle term is the sum of difference between the Left and Right, top and bottom numbers.
(12 - 3) + (10 - 5) = 9 + 5 = 14
(15 - 5) + (17 - 8) = 10 + 9 = 19
Similarly, in the third pattern the missing number is (17 - 9) + (15 - 9) = 8 + 6 = 14
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
3. Find the missing number in the given number pattern below.
(a) 76 (b) 88
(c) 100 (d) 120
(e) None of these
Answer (c) is correct.
Explanation: Centre number is double the sum of numbers given in outside circles.
1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 14 + 7 + 9 = 49 and
Similarly: 2 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 12 = 50 and
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (c).

Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (c).
5. In the given figure, numbers have been arranged in a certain pattern. Which number will replace the question mark (?).
(a) 1 (b) 2
(c) 18 (d) 24
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: The numbers that are diagonally situated are show in the pattern as follows:
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
Commonly Asked Question
1. Find the missing number in the given number pattern.
(a) 15 (b) 20
(b) 10 (d) 8
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: (13 + 8) - 9 = 21 - 9 = 12
(6 + 4) - 3 = 10 – 3 = 7
(11 + 5) - 8 = 16 – 8 = 8
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
2. Find the missing number in the given number pattern.
(a) 16 (b) 10
(c) 8 (d) 6
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: In this pattern follows as:
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
3. Find the missing number in the given number pattern.
(a) 38 (b) 45
(b) 58 (d) 63
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation:
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
4. Find the missing number in the given number pattern.
(a) 6 (b) 8
(c) 10 (d) 15
(e) None of these
Answer (b) is correct.
Explanation: Sum of numbers in each square chain is 31.
15 + 7 + 9 = 31.
7 + 8 + 16 = 31.
12 + 11 + 8 = 31.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (b).
5. Find the missing number.
(a) 95 (b) 52
(c) 48 (d) 38
(e) None of these
Answer (c) is correct.
Explanation: There are three parts in the figure namely I, II and III.
Number in part III is obtained by the multiplication of number in part I and part II.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (c).
6. Which number will replace the question mark?
(a) 8 (b) 9
(c) 10 (d) 12
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation: .
.
Similarly.
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
7. Find the missing number.
(a) 8 (b) 6
(c) 5 (d) 4
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation:
Similarly,
27 - 2x = 19
2x = 8
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
8. Find the missing number in the given number series.
(a) 25 (b) 26
(c) 28 (d) 30
(e) None of these
Answer (d) is correct.
Explanation:
Rest of the options is incorrect because of the correctness of option (d).
