Answer 1

Given:

Here the pattern followed in each row is:

(1^st number)³ – (2^nd number)² = 3^rd number

Row 1: (1^st number)³ – (2^nd number)² = 3^rd number

7³ - 13² = 343 - 169 = 174

Row 2: (1^st number)³ – (2^nd number)² = 3^rd number

9³ - 25² = 729 - 625 = 104

Similarly

Row 3: (1^st number)³ – (2^nd number)² = 3^rd number

11³ - 30² = 1331 - 900 = 431

Hence, “431” is correct answer.
