6*2=12, 6*3=18,6*5=30 in the same way 8*2,8*3,8*5.

So last one 9*5=45,9*2=18,9*3=27 this also be the way of guessing the answer.

18+12 = 30; 30/5 = 6. also 16+24 = 40;40/5 = 8.

So larger number divided by 5 is the answer.

So 45/5 = 9 is the answer.

Check for the no which are below line like 12, 18, 30 divisible by 6, simliarly its 9.

Option: C

Explanation:
12,18,30 = 6(2,3,5).
16,24,40 = 8(2,3,5).
45,18,27 = 9(5,2,3).

Hence the HCF of the other numbers is the result.

12, 8, 30 divisible by 6.
16, 24, 40 divisible by 8.

According to that,
45, 18 and 27 are divisible by 9.

So answer is 9.

12+18=30 & 18-12=6.
24+16=40 & 24-16=8.
18+27=45 & 27-18=9.

12+18+30 = 60/10 = 6.
16+24+40= 80/10 = 8.
45+18+27 = 91/10 = 9.

Actually the right method is by dividing 10 to each set.

But in my book the answer is 12 can some one explain whether its 12 or 9.

Answer : 6.

30-12 = 18/3 = 6.

40-16 = 24/3 = 8.

45-27 = 18/3 = 6.
