Solution

Here are the solutions and explanations for the puzzles in the image:


1. Replace the question mark in the triangle

  • First triangle: 7×3=217 \times 3 = 21, then subtract 9 (219=1221 - 9 = 12).
  • Second triangle: Apply the same logic. 6×3=186 \times 3 = 18, then subtract 11 (1811=718 - 11 = 7).

Answer: (b) 7


2. Number series puzzle

The numbers progress as follows:

  • 18+2=2018 + 2 = 20
  • 20+4=2420 + 4 = 24
  • 24+8=3224 + 8 = 32
  • 32+16=4832 + 16 = 48

Answer: (c) 48


3. Hexagon puzzle

The numbers are prime numbers progressing in sequence:

  • 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ?
  • The next prime number after 17 is 19.

Answer: (c) 19
