Question 37

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

Solution

The logic for the given pattern is

13 + 108 = 121 = 11$$^2$$

26 + 55 = 81 = 9$$^2$$

The sum of the top numbers is equal to the square of the below number in the number pattern

Let the required number be 'a'

Similarly, using the above logic

a + 157 = 14$$^2$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ a + 157 = 196

$$\Rightarrow$$ a = 39

$$\therefore\ $$The required number = 39

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
