Study the table given carefully and choose the correct number option that shall come in place of '?':

5	14	12
48	135	?
8	9	10

Looking at the table, we need to identify the pattern connecting the three rows in each column.

5	14	12
48	135	?
8	9	10

---

Analyzing Column 1:

Top = 5, Bottom = 8, Middle = 48

Testing: $5 \times 8 = 40$

The difference is $48 - 40 = 8$ (which equals the bottom number)

So: $5 \times 8 + 8 = 48$ ✓

This can be written as: Middle $=$ Bottom $\times$ (Top $+ 1$)

Middle $= 8 \times (5 + 1) = 8 \times 6 = 48$ ✓

---

Verifying with Column 2:

Top = 14, Bottom = 9, Middle = 135

Middle $= 9 \times (14 + 1) = 9 \times 15 = 135$ ✓

---

Applying the pattern to Column 3:

Top = 12, Bottom = 10, Middle = ?

Middle $= 10 \times (12 + 1)$

Middle $= 10 \times 13$

Middle $= 130$

Therefore, the answer is Option 1: 130.
