Solution for the image puzzle 3, 12, 8 7, 28, 24, 5, 20, _ ?

1st row —>  12-12/3 = 8

2nd row –> 28-28/7 = 24

3rd row –> 20-20/5 = 16

Correct answer 16

Likely pattern:

We see a clear pattern in middle = left × 4.

So, the third row: 5 → 20 → ?

In the previous rows, the right number is less than the middle number by 4:

• 12 → 8: difference = 4

• 28 → 24: difference = 4

So likely:

20 – 4 = 16.
