Solve the matrix puzzle
Best answer
This question may have more than one solution according to the different logic.
1) Sum of the rows –
Sum of rows is 17 in each case.
3+6+8=17
5+8+4=17
4+7+ x=17
Thus X=6
2)Sum of columns –
Sum of columns is increasing by 9.
3+5+4=12
6+8+7=21(12+9)
8+4+x=30(12+18)
Thus X=18
3)Average of first two numbers in columns –
Average of first two = third.
(5+3)/2=4
(6+8)/2=7
(8+4)/2=6
Thus X=6
I would like go with X=6. (Higher probability)
