Correct option is D
Logic: Divide the sum of the squares of the numbers given at the bottom of the triangle to get the number at the top of the triangle.
Figure 1: [(3) + (3)] 2 = [9 + 9] 2 = 18 2 = 9
Figure 2: [(3) + (9)] 2 = [9 + 81] 2 = 90 2 = 45
Figure 3: [(4) + (6)] 2 = [16 + 36] 2 = 52 2 = 26
Similarly, follow the same pattern for the fourth figure:
Figure 4: [(2) + (6)] 2 = [4 + 36] 2 = 40 2 = 20
So, the missing number is 20.
Thus, the correct answer is (d).
