Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

(16, 4, 4)

(30, 5, 15)

(8, 2, ?)

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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)

Answer 1

The logic followed here is:

First Number - (3 × Second Number) = Third Number

So

16 - (3 × 4) = 4

and

30 - (3 × 5) = 15

Similarly,

8 - (3 × 2) = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "2".
