Let's analyze the pattern in the puzzle.
We are given:
Row 1: 4 7 5 Row 2: 33 78 46 Row 3: 8 ? 9
We need to find the rule that connects the first and third rows to the second row.
Let’s take each column one by one:
First Column:
Top: 4
Bottom: 8
Middle: 33
Try:
4 × 8 + 1 = 33
(4 × 8 = 32; 32 + 1 = 33) — works!
Second Column:
Top: 7
Bottom: ?
Middle: 78
We reverse the formula:
Assuming same pattern: (top × bottom + 1 = middle)
Let bottom = x:
7 × x + 1 = 78
7x = 77
x = 11
Third Column:
Top: 5
Bottom: 9
Check: 5 × 9 + 1 = 46
Yes! (5×9 = 45, +1 = 46)
Final Answer: 11
