Fun Math Riddle: Find the Missing Numbers in the Table
Have fun with numbers with this riddle.
In the table you will see some numbers that follow some pattern.
Can you find that pattern and hence find the value of the missing numbers?
| 2 | 4 | 12 | 48 |
| 3 | 6 | 18 | 72 |
| 4 | 8 | 24 | 96 |
| 5 | ? | ? | ? |
The numbers in the table follows this pattern;
a x 2 = b; b x 3 = c & c x 4 = d
So the first row would be;
2 x 2 = 4
4 x 3 = 12 &
12 x 4 = 48
Similarly we can show that the same logic holds good for rows 2 & 3
3 x 2 = 6
6 x 3 = 18 &
18 x 4 = 72
4 x 2 = 8
8 x 3 = 24 &
24 x 4 = 96
So we can find the missing numbers as;
5 x 2 = 10
10 x 3 = 30 &
30 x 4 = 120
So answer = 10, 30 & 120
