Answer 1

The pattern followed here is:

Logic: First term + 5 = Second term,

Second Term + 5 = Third term.

Now apply the pattern on the given rows:

First row - 64, 69, 74

⇒ 64 + 5 = 69,

⇒ 69 + 5 = 74.

Second row - 26, 31, 36

⇒ 26 + 5 = 31,

⇒ 31 + 5 = 36.

Similarly,

Third row - 49, 54, ?

⇒ 49 + 5 = 54,

⇒ 54 + 5 = 59.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Mistake Points Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.

E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed.

Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.
