Answer:

The numbers in the triangle follow this pattern.

When a number falls in between 2 numbers from the row above it is the sum of those 2 numbers.

For example in third row 2 falls between the two 1\’s in the second row, so it results into 1 + 1 = 2

Similarly in 4th row;

1 + 2 = 3

Therefore we can find the missing numbers as;

1 + 3 = 4;

3 + 3 = 6 &

3 + 1 = 4

We can validate this by checking the last row;

1 + 4 = 5;

4 + 6 = 10;

6 + 4 = 10 &

4 + 1 = 5.

So the numbers are verified to be correct.

Therefore; the missing numbers are 4, 6 & 4.
