Fill in the missing numbers. In each row the set of three numbers follow a certain logic.
74882 3584 ___
29637 ____ 192
74826 ____ ___
Similarly fill in the blanks in this set as well, only here the logic between the numbers in each row is not the same as above.
528 116 ___
793 ___ 335
821 ___ ___
(I) Consider the first set.
In each row, any term of the set is equal to the product off the digits of the previous term.
As an example, we observe that, in the second row:
2*9*6*3*7 = 2268, and: 2*2*6*8=192
Similarly,
In the first row:
pod(74882)= 3584, and pod(3584)=480
In the third row:
pod(74826)=2688, and: pod(2688)=768
Consequently, the 3×3 grid inclusive of the first set is depicted hereunder as follows:
74882 3584 480
29637 2268 192
74826 2688 768
(II) Consider the second set:
If a term in a given row is abc(concatenated form), then the next term in that row is equal to: ac * b.
Thus, in the first row:
528 --> 58*2=116 --> 16*1= 16
In the second row:
793 --> 73*9=657 --> 67 *5 = 335
In the third row:
821--> 81*2=162--> 12*6=72
Consequently, the 3x3 grid inclusive of the second set is depicted hereunder as follows:
528 116 16
793 657 335
821 162 72
