Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 17

Let 'x' will come in place of ?

The pattern followed here is :

Row 1: (7 + 2)(14 + 2) = 9 × 16 = 144

Row 2: (11 + 2)(16 + 2) = 13 × 18 = 234

Row 3: (12 + 2)(x + 2) = 266

14(x + 2) = 266

x + 2 = 266 ÷ 14

x + 2 = 19

x = 17

Hence, 17 is the correct answer.
