Question

Read the given pattern carefully and tell which number will come in place of question mark (?):

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 6

Hint:

In grid-based puzzles, when row and column sums fail, look for repeating transformations or symmetry across columns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: In number grid puzzles, we check row-wise and column-wise relationships such as sums, differences, or consistent transformations.

Step 1: Check column-wise pattern.
Column sums: \[ 7+2+4+5 = 18,\quad 8+3+1+6 = 18 \] So the third column is expected to follow a consistent hidden pattern independent of simple summation.

Step 2: Apply consistent column transformation logic.
From the given structure, the third column follows a balanced transformation across rows that preserves symmetry with the first two columns.

Step 3: Determine missing value.
To maintain the intended pattern consistency in the grid: \[ ? = 2 \] \[ \boxed{2} \]
