Correct Answer: 16Your Answer: A
Explanation
The same positional rule must explain every row. Verification of Row 1: 7 + 6 = 13, exactly matching the given result. Verification of Row 2: 9 + 7 = 16, again matching the stated result, so the rule is consistent rather than a guess. Apply it unchanged to Row 3: 11 + 5 = 16. A valid missing-number solution cannot switch operations only for the final row. Rechecking the first two examples and then independently recalculating the target row confirms the answer.

Missing Number FAQs
Common questions and clear answers for this topic.
What is a Missing Number question in reasoning?
A Missing Number question presents related numbers in rows, columns or groups and hides one value. The solver identifies a single arithmetic rule that fits every complete example and applies it unchanged to calculate the missing value.
How do I solve Missing Number puzzles quickly?
Check simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division first. Then test squares and mixed operations. Verify the proposed rule on every complete row before calculating the missing row, and finally eliminate options by exact arithmetic.
Which patterns are common in Missing Number questions?
Common patterns include sums, differences, products, squares, doubled totals, product plus or minus a number, and rules combining a product with the sum. The same positional operation must work in all given rows.
