Find the missing number, if same rule is followed in all the three figures.

Three squares, each with a number outside each side and one inside. First: top 81, left 28, right 7, bottom 9, inside 13. Second: top 56, left 63, right 3, bottom 8, inside 28. Third: top 48, left 55, right 5, bottom 4, inside a question mark

  • A.21
  • B.23
  • C.25
  • D.27

Answer: B

The missing number is 23.

In each figure, the number inside is the top number divided by the bottom one, plus the left number divided by the right one:

\[ \begin{aligned} 81 \div 9 + 28 \div 7 &= 9 + 4 = 13 \\ 56 \div 8 + 63 \div 3 &= 7 + 21 = 28 \\ 48 \div 4 + 55 \div 5 &= 12 + 11 = 23 \end{aligned} \]

The rule fits both complete figures, so the third gives 23. 21, 25 and 27 do not come from this rule.
