Find the missing character from the given alternatives :

Three triangles each with a number at upper left, upper right and below and one inside: 5, 6, 4 with 12 inside; 6, 7, 5 with 21 inside; 4, 8, 10 with a question mark inside

  • A.22
  • B.30
  • C.32
  • D.42

Answer: C

The missing number is 32.

In each triangle, the number inside is the product of the three outer numbers divided by 10:

\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5 \times 6 \times 4}{10} &= \frac{120}{10} = 12 \\ \frac{6 \times 7 \times 5}{10} &= \frac{210}{10} = 21 \\ \frac{4 \times 8 \times 10}{10} &= \frac{320}{10} = 32 \end{aligned} \]

The rule matches both given triangles, so the third is 32. 22 is the sum of the outer numbers, and 30 and 42 do not follow the pattern.
