Question

Find the missing character from among the given alternatives.

• A. 12B
• B. 8C
• C. 18C
• D. 16C
• E. 16B

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Matrix pattern involving numbers and alphabets.
Step 1: Observe number pattern.
Matrix: \[ \begin{matrix} 3C & 2B & 4A
27A & ? & 64B
9B & 4A & 16C \end{matrix} \] Numbers follow pattern: \[ \begin{matrix} 3A1 & 2A1 & 4A1
3A3 & 2A3 & 4A3
3A2 & 2A2 & 4A2 \end{matrix} \] Thus, middle element must be: \[ 2^3 = 8 \]
Step 2: Observe alphabet pattern.
Column-wise pattern: \[ C,\ A,\ B \quad ; \quad B,\ ?,\ A \quad ; \quad A,\ B,\ C \] Middle column follows reverse pattern: \[ B,\ C,\ A \]
Step 3: Determine missing element.
Thus, missing value = $8C$
Step 4: Final answer.
Hence, answer is 8C.
