Question

Find the missing numbers in the matrix.

• A. 1
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 14

Hint:

In number matrices, first look for patterns in sums, products, or differences among rows and columns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Notice a pattern in the sums of rows and columns. Each row and column sum must balance.


Step 2: Calculate the sums and notice each row and column should sum to a consistent number, given the pattern in the matrix.


Step 3: By process of elimination and testing each option, find that 6 completes the matrix so that all rows and columns sum equally.
