Reasoning  Puzzle  Question Find the missing number in the matrix.  Based on logic value  Fully explained answer and step-by-step solution.

 

The logic is:

Column wise: (2nd number - 1st number) × 4 = 3rd number.

Column 1: (15 - 4) × 4 = 11 × 4 = 44

Column 3: (21 - 6) × 4 = 15 × 4 = 60

Similarly,

Let the missing number be a

Column 2: (? - 7) × 4 = 68

⇒ ? - 7 = 68 ÷ 4

⇒ ? - 7 = 17

⇒ ? = 17 + 7

⇒ ? = 24

Hence, ‘24’ is the correct answer.
