Each of the following questions has a Magical Triangle with Question mark/s. Replace the question mark/s by choosing the correct response from amongst the alternatives given.

Options

A. 114
B. 189
C. 190
D. 198

Answer

D

Explanation

The pattern is as follows:
Position of letter S in alphabet series = 19th
Starting from left section of the big triangle:
`S-5 rArr19-5=14, S+5 rArr 19+5 = 24 and Sxx5=19 rArr 19 xx 5 =95`
Then, number in the right section of inner triangle i.e small triangle = sum of outer numbers i.e. big triangle-S. i.e. (14 + 24 +95) - 19 = 114
Similarly, Position of letter N in alphabet series = 14th
So, `N-3 rArr 14-3 = 11, N+3 rArr 14 + 3 = 17 and Nxx3 rArr 14 xx 3 = 42 `
Then (11 + 17 + 42) - N= (11 + 17 + 42) - 14 = 56
Position of letter V in alphabet series = 22nd So, `V-8 rArr 22-8 = 14, V + 8 rArr 22 + 8 = 30 and V xx 8 rArr 22 xx 8 = 176`
Then, (14 + 30+ 176) - V = (14 + 30 + 176) - 22=198
Therefore, Missing number = 198
