Answer : 22
Here, on each row of the table or figure, the value at the Centre of each row equals the sum of the other numbers in the row after deducting 2.
So we can solve first row as;
7 + 5 – 2 =10 = middle column.
Similarly for other known rows;
2 + 1 + 6 + 3 – 2 = 12 – 2 = 10;
7 + 2 + 4 + 4 – 2 = 15
6 + 3 – 2 = 7
So to find the missing number;
3 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 1 -2 = 24- 2 = 22
Answer = 22.
