The answer is 30. Below we have shared the detailed solution.
For the first two rows:
- 8 ÷ 4 = 2 and 24 ÷ 8 = 3
- 6 ÷ 3 = 2 and 18 ÷ 6 = 3
So we see that in a row:
- Number in the second column = 2 × Number in the first column
- Number in the third column = 3 × Number in the second column
When we apply the same logic to the third row, we get:
- 5 × 2 = 10 and 10 × 3 = 30
Therefore, the missing number is 30.
