Directions: Select the missing number from the given alternatives: 38 54 61 79 21 ? 12 24 19 09 14 ?

Step-by-step solution

The numbers in the matrix follow the below mentioned logic: The value at the middle row is the sum of digits of top and bottom rows. For first column, Value in the top row =38 , Value in the bottom row = 19 Sum of digits = 3 + 8 + 1 + 9 = 21, is the value in the middle row. For second column, Thus 5 + 4 + 0 + 9 = 18 is the required value. For third column, Thus, 6 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 12 For fourth column, Thus, 7 + 9 + x = 24 24 - 16 = x = 8 is the required value. The combination where sum of digits comes to 8 should be
