Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

Correct option is B

Given: 

In the first figure:

28 + 12 = 40

22 + 18 = 40

In the second figure:

34 + 36 = 70

30 + 40 = 70

Similarly,

In the third figure:

26 + 18 = 44

Thus,

22 + ? = 44

? = 44 – 22 = 22

Correct answer is (b) 22.
