Answer = 4.

Explanation:

The relation between the numbers are as follows;

C3 – C2/C1 = C4

So let\’s test this logic in row 1;


4 / 2 = 2 :: 5 – 2 = 3;

Similarly we can check if this holds true for other rows;

9 / 3 = 3 :: 9 – 3 = 6;

12 / 4 = 3 :: 8 – 3 = 5;

10 / 5 = 2 :: 8 – 2 = 6

Therefore we can find the missing number as;

18 / 6 = 3 :: 7 – 3 = 4.
