5858?166

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

In each column, the bottom entry equals the product of the three numbers above it, minus 22.

Column 1: 3×4×5−2=583 \times 4 \times 5 - 2 = 58. Column 2: 5×6×2−2=585 \times 6 \times 2 - 2 = 58. Column 4: 7×6×4−2=1667 \times 6 \times 4 - 2 = 166.

So column 3 gives 8×4×2−2=64−2=628 \times 4 \times 2 - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62.
