Ans is 7
3 +1=4 and 4 +1 is 5 that is the last no of 3 Rd column
And in second line 2+4=6 so the missing no is 6+1=7

Although I know the answer is “R” (as stated several times throughout this thread), I did notice another pattern. Top left (1) plus bottom middle (4) equals the top right (5). Invert the pattern and you get bottom left (2) plus top middle (3) equals the unknown bottom right (?). By taking this pattern into consideration, the bottom right missing number would be 5. However, it is important to remember that this is just an observation I made and not necessarily the answer intended by the author.

Adding 1 to the total of the first 2 boxes gives the last box digit.
1+3 =4+(1) = 5
Hence
2+4=6 +(1) = 7


1 2 3
