Step-by-step solution for: Class 4 Maths Play with Pattern Worksheet
Let's solve each question one by one, starting with Q.1, which is the first and most prominent problem in your image.
---
We have a triangle with numbers at the vertices and edges:
```
3
/ \
A B
/ \
2 1
\ /
6 -----
```
Wait — actually, looking closely, it seems like the triangle has:
- Top vertex: 3
- Bottom-left vertex: 2
- Bottom-right vertex: 1
- The middle edge between 2 and 1 has a number: 6
- On the left side (from 3 to 2): there’s a number A
- On the right side (from 3 to 1): there’s a number B
So the three sides are:
1. Left side: 3 → A → 2
2. Right side: 3 → B → 1
3. Base: 2 → 6 → 1
We need the sum of each side to be equal.
Let’s compute the base sum:
> Base: 2 + 6 + 1 = 9
Now set up equations for the other two sides:
- Left side: 3 + A + 2 = 5 + A
- Right side: 3 + B + 1 = 4 + B
Set both equal to 9:
- 5 + A = 9 → A = 4
- 4 + B = 9 → B = 5
✔ So:
- A = 4
- B = 5
Let’s verify:
- Left: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ✔
- Right: 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 ✔
- Base: 2 + 6 + 1 = 9 ✔
✔️ All sides sum to 9.

We have four triangles:
1. ▲ with 4P
2. ▲ with 3Q
3. ▲ with 2R
4. ▲ with ?
Looks like a sequence: 4P, 3Q, 2R, ?
We see:
- Numbers decreasing: 4, 3, 2 → next should be 1
- Letters increasing: P, Q, R → next is S
So the pattern is:
- Number: 4, 3, 2, 1
- Letter: P, Q, R, S
So the answer is: 1S
✔ Answer: 1S
---
Sequence: 3, 6, 12, ?
Look at the pattern:
- 3 × 2 = 6
- 6 × 2 = 12
- 12 × 2 = 24
So next number is 24
✔ Answer: 24
---
Sequence: 80, 40, 20, ?
Pattern:
- 80 ÷ 2 = 40
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10
✔ Answer: 10

Each diamond has format: X _ Y, where X increases from 6 to 7 to 8, and last digit is 7.
So:
- First: 6A7 → A is unknown
- Second: 7B7 → B is unknown
- Third: 8C7 → C is unknown
- Fourth: ? → probably 9D7?
But we need to find the pattern in the middle letters.
Let’s assume the middle letter corresponds to some logic.
Let’s look at the numbers:
- First: 6 A 7
- Second: 7 B 7
- Third: 8 C 7
Notice:
- First digit increases: 6 → 7 → 8 → likely 9
- Last digit is always 7
- Middle letter: A, B, C → suggests alphabetical order
So next should be 9D7
But wait — could there be more to it?
Alternatively, perhaps the middle letter represents a digit?
But A, B, C are letters, not digits.
Wait — maybe the middle letter is related to the sum or difference?
Try:
- 6 + 7 = 13 → but A is 1st letter?
- 7 + 7 = 14 → B is 2nd?
- 8 + 7 = 15 → C is 3rd?
Not matching.
Alternatively, maybe the middle letter corresponds to the first digit?
But 6 → A, 7 → B, 8 → C → yes! That makes sense.
So:
- 6 → A (6th letter? No: A=1, B=2, C=3...)
Wait — A is 1st letter, but first number is 6.
But:
- 6 → A
- 7 → B
- 8 → C
That would mean:
- 6 → A (1st letter)
- 7 → B (2nd)
- 8 → C (3rd)
No — that doesn't match.
But if it's number = position of letter?
- A = 1 → but first number is 6 → no.
Wait — what if the letter is the same as the first digit?
6 → A? But A is not 6.
But A = 1, B = 2, C = 3...
But here:
- First: 6A7 → A is 1st letter
- Second: 7B7 → B is 2nd
- Third: 8C7 → C is 3rd
So the letter is increasing alphabetically, while the first digit increases by 1.
So:
- 6A7 → A
- 7B7 → B
- 8C7 → C
- Next: 9D7 → D
So the missing one is 9D7
✔ Answer: 9D7

```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
It looks like a pyramid where each number is derived from the two below.
Bottom row: 5, 10, 15
Second row: 20 and ?
Top: 30
Let’s see how 20 is formed from 5 and 10.
Possibility: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it’s 20 → too small.
5 × 10 = 50 → too big.
Maybe: 5 + 10 + 5 = 20? Not clear.
Wait — perhaps it's sum of two numbers below, but not adjacent?
But 5 and 10 are adjacent.
Wait — maybe the rule is: each upper number is the sum of the two numbers directly below it?
So:
- 20 is above 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 ≠ 20 → no.
But 5 + 10 = 15, not 20.
What if it's 5 × 2 + 10 = 20? Or 10 × 2 = 20?
Wait — 10 is in the middle.
Wait — maybe the top number 30 is sum of 20 and ?
So: 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
Then the missing number is 10
Now check if that fits with bottom row.
So second row: 20 and 10
Now, 20 is above 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 ≠ 20 → still not matching.
Wait — maybe the rule is: each number is the sum of the two numbers below it, but shifted?
Standard pyramid: each number is sum of two below.
But here:
```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
So:
- 20 should come from 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 → not 20
- ? should come from 10 and 15 → 10 + 15 = 25
- Then top: 20 + 25 = 45 ≠ 30 → no
Alternative idea: Maybe the top number is sum of all bottom numbers?
5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → yes!
So total sum is 30.
Now, 20 is given as one of the middle numbers.
So the other middle number must be such that 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So missing number is 10
But now, how are 20 and 10 derived from bottom?
Maybe:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? Not consistent.
Wait — perhaps the two middle numbers are sums of adjacent pairs?
Try:
- Left middle: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → no
- Right middle: 10 + 15 = 25 → but we want 10? No.
Another idea: Maybe it's weighted sum?
Or perhaps it's not a standard pyramid, but the top number is sum of bottom, and the middle numbers are partial sums?
But 20 is already there.
Wait — suppose the left middle is sum of left two: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → no.
Unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but why?
Wait — let’s try another approach.
Suppose:
- The top number is 30
- It is made from 20 and ? → so ? = 10
Now, can we justify how 20 comes from 5 and 10?
Maybe: 5 × 4 = 20 → but 10 is also there.
Wait — maybe the middle numbers are averages or something?
Alternatively, think of it as:
- 5 and 10 → 20
- 10 and 15 → ?
If 5 and 10 give 20, then maybe 10 and 15 give 30? But then 20 + 30 = 50 ≠ 30
No.
Wait — what if the top number is the sum of the bottom row, and the middle numbers are just placeholders?
But 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → matches top.
Now, the left middle is 20, which is greater than 5+10=15.
Wait — unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but 4 from where?
Alternatively, maybe the middle numbers are not derived from the bottom, but the top is sum of the two middle numbers.
So:
- 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
And we don’t care about derivation from bottom.
But the bottom row might be used to derive the middle ones.
Wait — look again:
Bottom: 5, 10, 15
Middle: 20, ?
Top: 30
Perhaps:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? Not logical.
Wait — maybe it's multiplication?
5 × 10 = 50 → no.
Wait — what if the middle numbers are sums of adjacent pairs, but scaled?
Try:
- 5 + 10 = 15 → but 20 is there → no
Wait — unless the 20 is 5 × 4, but 4 isn’t there.
Another idea: Perhaps the top number is the sum of the two middle numbers, and each middle number is the sum of the two numbers below it.
So:
- Left middle: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → contradiction
Unless the numbers are not aligned.
Wait — maybe the alignment is:
```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
So:
- 20 is above 5 and 10
- ? is above 10 and 15
Then:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? No
Wait — what if the top number is sum of all three bottom numbers: 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → correct.
Then the two middle numbers are partial sums?
But 20 is larger than 5+10=15.
Wait — unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but why?
Wait — maybe the middle number is 5 × (10/2) = 25? No.
Wait — let’s look at the numbers: 5, 10, 15 → arithmetic sequence.
Sum = 30
Now, 20 is given.
If 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So the missing number is 10
Even if we don't know the derivation, since top = sum of middle numbers, and 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So likely the intended answer is 10
✔ Answer: 10

```
3 4 5 6
9 15 25 ?
```
First row: 3, 4, 5, 6
Second row: 9, 15, 25, ?
Find relation between rows.
Look at:
- 3 → 9 → 3×3 = 9
- 4 → 15 → 4×3.75 = 15? Not nice.
- 5 → 25 → 5×5 = 25
Wait — 3→9 = 3²
5→25 = 5²
But 4→15? 4² = 16, not 15
Hmm.
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1?
For n=3: (3+1)² -1 = 16 -1 = 15 → no, we have 9
Wait — maybe different pattern.
Try:
- 3 → 9 = 3 × 3
- 4 → 15 = 4 × 3.75 → no
- 5 → 25 = 5 × 5
- 6 → ? = 6 × ?
But 3×3=9, 5×5=25 → squares
But 4→15? 4×3.75 → no
Wait — maybe not multiplication.
Try differences:
From 3 to 9: +6
4 to 15: +11
5 to 25: +20
Now differences: +6, +11, +20
Differences of differences: 11-6=5, 20-11=9 → not constant
Wait — maybe it's n² + something?
- For n=3: 9 = 3² → yes
- n=4: 15 → 4² = 16 → 16 -1 = 15
- n=5: 25 = 5² → yes
- n=6: 6² = 36 → maybe 36?
But pattern: 3², 4² -1, 5², 6²?
That would be: 9, 15, 25, 36
But 4² -1 = 15 → yes
So:
- n=3: 3² = 9
- n=4: 4² -1 = 15
- n=5: 5² = 25
- n=6: 6² = 36
But alternating? 3², 4²-1, 5², 6² → not consistent
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1?
For n=3: (4)² -1 = 16-1=15 → no
Wait — look at the second row: 9, 15, 25, ?
Try to see if it's related to multiplication:
- 3×3 = 9
- 4×3.75 = 15 → no
- 5×5 = 25
- 6×? = ?
Wait — 3→9 = 3×3
4→15 = 3×5 → not helpful
Wait — maybe the second row is (first row) × (something)
But 3→9 = ×3
4→15 = ×3.75
5→25 = ×5
6→? = ×?
Not consistent.
Another idea: Look at the products:
Wait — maybe the second row is (first row)² - something?
- 3² = 9 → matches
- 4² = 16 → but 15 = 16 -1
- 5² = 25 → matches
- 6² = 36 → so maybe 36?
But why does 4 give 15 instead of 16?
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1 for n=4?
n=4: (4+1)² -1 = 25-1=24 → no
Wait — maybe it's n × (n+1)?
3×4 = 12 → no
Wait — let’s try:
- 3 → 9 = 3×3
- 4 → 15 = 3×5 → no
- 5 → 25 = 5×5
- 6 → ? = 6×6 = 36?
But 4→15 — not 16.
Wait — maybe it's (n^2) when n odd, (n^2 -1) when even?
- n=3 (odd): 3² = 9 ✔
- n=4 (even): 4² -1 = 15 ✔
- n=5 (odd): 5² = 25 ✔
- n=6 (even): 6² -1 = 36 -1 = 35
So answer: 35
Check: 6 → 35
Yes — pattern:
- Odd n: n²
- Even n: n² -1
So:
- 3 (odd) → 9
- 4 (even) → 15
- 5 (odd) → 25
- 6 (even) → 35
✔ Answer: 35

Q.1: Find out A and B so that the sum is equal on each side of this triangle.
We have a triangle with numbers at the vertices and edges:
```
3
/ \
A B
/ \
2 1
\ /
6 -----
```
Wait — actually, looking closely, it seems like the triangle has:
- Top vertex: 3
- Bottom-left vertex: 2
- Bottom-right vertex: 1
- The middle edge between 2 and 1 has a number: 6
- On the left side (from 3 to 2): there’s a number A
- On the right side (from 3 to 1): there’s a number B
So the three sides are:
1. Left side: 3 → A → 2
2. Right side: 3 → B → 1
3. Base: 2 → 6 → 1
We need the sum of each side to be equal.
Let’s compute the base sum:
> Base: 2 + 6 + 1 = 9
Now set up equations for the other two sides:
- Left side: 3 + A + 2 = 5 + A
- Right side: 3 + B + 1 = 4 + B
Set both equal to 9:
- 5 + A = 9 → A = 4
- 4 + B = 9 → B = 5
✔ So:
- A = 4
- B = 5
Let’s verify:
- Left: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ✔
- Right: 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 ✔
- Base: 2 + 6 + 1 = 9 ✔
✔️ All sides sum to 9.

Q.2: Study the pattern and fill in the missing numbers.
We have four triangles:
1. ▲ with 4P
2. ▲ with 3Q
3. ▲ with 2R
4. ▲ with ?
Looks like a sequence: 4P, 3Q, 2R, ?
We see:
- Numbers decreasing: 4, 3, 2 → next should be 1
- Letters increasing: P, Q, R → next is S
So the pattern is:
- Number: 4, 3, 2, 1
- Letter: P, Q, R, S
So the answer is: 1S
✔ Answer: 1S
---
Q.3: Clouds with numbers: 3, 6, 12, ?
Sequence: 3, 6, 12, ?
Look at the pattern:
- 3 × 2 = 6
- 6 × 2 = 12
- 12 × 2 = 24
So next number is 24
✔ Answer: 24
---
Q.4: Semi-circles with numbers: 80, 40, 20, ?
Sequence: 80, 40, 20, ?
Pattern:
- 80 ÷ 2 = 40
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10
✔ Answer: 10

Q.5: Diamonds with numbers: 6A7, 7B7, 8C7, ?
Each diamond has format: X _ Y, where X increases from 6 to 7 to 8, and last digit is 7.
So:
- First: 6A7 → A is unknown
- Second: 7B7 → B is unknown
- Third: 8C7 → C is unknown
- Fourth: ? → probably 9D7?
But we need to find the pattern in the middle letters.
Let’s assume the middle letter corresponds to some logic.
Let’s look at the numbers:
- First: 6 A 7
- Second: 7 B 7
- Third: 8 C 7
Notice:
- First digit increases: 6 → 7 → 8 → likely 9
- Last digit is always 7
- Middle letter: A, B, C → suggests alphabetical order
So next should be 9D7
But wait — could there be more to it?
Alternatively, perhaps the middle letter represents a digit?
But A, B, C are letters, not digits.
Wait — maybe the middle letter is related to the sum or difference?
Try:
- 6 + 7 = 13 → but A is 1st letter?
- 7 + 7 = 14 → B is 2nd?
- 8 + 7 = 15 → C is 3rd?
Not matching.
Alternatively, maybe the middle letter corresponds to the first digit?
But 6 → A, 7 → B, 8 → C → yes! That makes sense.
So:
- 6 → A (6th letter? No: A=1, B=2, C=3...)
Wait — A is 1st letter, but first number is 6.
But:
- 6 → A
- 7 → B
- 8 → C
That would mean:
- 6 → A (1st letter)
- 7 → B (2nd)
- 8 → C (3rd)
No — that doesn't match.
But if it's number = position of letter?
- A = 1 → but first number is 6 → no.
Wait — what if the letter is the same as the first digit?
6 → A? But A is not 6.
But A = 1, B = 2, C = 3...
But here:
- First: 6A7 → A is 1st letter
- Second: 7B7 → B is 2nd
- Third: 8C7 → C is 3rd
So the letter is increasing alphabetically, while the first digit increases by 1.
So:
- 6A7 → A
- 7B7 → B
- 8C7 → C
- Next: 9D7 → D
So the missing one is 9D7
✔ Answer: 9D7

Q.6: Pyramid-like structure
```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
It looks like a pyramid where each number is derived from the two below.
Bottom row: 5, 10, 15
Second row: 20 and ?
Top: 30
Let’s see how 20 is formed from 5 and 10.
Possibility: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it’s 20 → too small.
5 × 10 = 50 → too big.
Maybe: 5 + 10 + 5 = 20? Not clear.
Wait — perhaps it's sum of two numbers below, but not adjacent?
But 5 and 10 are adjacent.
Wait — maybe the rule is: each upper number is the sum of the two numbers directly below it?
So:
- 20 is above 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 ≠ 20 → no.
But 5 + 10 = 15, not 20.
What if it's 5 × 2 + 10 = 20? Or 10 × 2 = 20?
Wait — 10 is in the middle.
Wait — maybe the top number 30 is sum of 20 and ?
So: 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
Then the missing number is 10
Now check if that fits with bottom row.
So second row: 20 and 10
Now, 20 is above 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 ≠ 20 → still not matching.
Wait — maybe the rule is: each number is the sum of the two numbers below it, but shifted?
Standard pyramid: each number is sum of two below.
But here:
```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
So:
- 20 should come from 5 and 10 → 5 + 10 = 15 → not 20
- ? should come from 10 and 15 → 10 + 15 = 25
- Then top: 20 + 25 = 45 ≠ 30 → no
Alternative idea: Maybe the top number is sum of all bottom numbers?
5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → yes!
So total sum is 30.
Now, 20 is given as one of the middle numbers.
So the other middle number must be such that 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So missing number is 10
But now, how are 20 and 10 derived from bottom?
Maybe:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? Not consistent.
Wait — perhaps the two middle numbers are sums of adjacent pairs?
Try:
- Left middle: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → no
- Right middle: 10 + 15 = 25 → but we want 10? No.
Another idea: Maybe it's weighted sum?
Or perhaps it's not a standard pyramid, but the top number is sum of bottom, and the middle numbers are partial sums?
But 20 is already there.
Wait — suppose the left middle is sum of left two: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → no.
Unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but why?
Wait — let’s try another approach.
Suppose:
- The top number is 30
- It is made from 20 and ? → so ? = 10
Now, can we justify how 20 comes from 5 and 10?
Maybe: 5 × 4 = 20 → but 10 is also there.
Wait — maybe the middle numbers are averages or something?
Alternatively, think of it as:
- 5 and 10 → 20
- 10 and 15 → ?
If 5 and 10 give 20, then maybe 10 and 15 give 30? But then 20 + 30 = 50 ≠ 30
No.
Wait — what if the top number is the sum of the bottom row, and the middle numbers are just placeholders?
But 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → matches top.
Now, the left middle is 20, which is greater than 5+10=15.
Wait — unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but 4 from where?
Alternatively, maybe the middle numbers are not derived from the bottom, but the top is sum of the two middle numbers.
So:
- 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
And we don’t care about derivation from bottom.
But the bottom row might be used to derive the middle ones.
Wait — look again:
Bottom: 5, 10, 15
Middle: 20, ?
Top: 30
Perhaps:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? Not logical.
Wait — maybe it's multiplication?
5 × 10 = 50 → no.
Wait — what if the middle numbers are sums of adjacent pairs, but scaled?
Try:
- 5 + 10 = 15 → but 20 is there → no
Wait — unless the 20 is 5 × 4, but 4 isn’t there.
Another idea: Perhaps the top number is the sum of the two middle numbers, and each middle number is the sum of the two numbers below it.
So:
- Left middle: 5 + 10 = 15 → but it's 20 → contradiction
Unless the numbers are not aligned.
Wait — maybe the alignment is:
```
30
20 ?
5 10 15
```
So:
- 20 is above 5 and 10
- ? is above 10 and 15
Then:
- 20 = 5 + 10 + 5? No
Wait — what if the top number is sum of all three bottom numbers: 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 → correct.
Then the two middle numbers are partial sums?
But 20 is larger than 5+10=15.
Wait — unless it's 5 × 4 = 20, but why?
Wait — maybe the middle number is 5 × (10/2) = 25? No.
Wait — let’s look at the numbers: 5, 10, 15 → arithmetic sequence.
Sum = 30
Now, 20 is given.
If 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So the missing number is 10
Even if we don't know the derivation, since top = sum of middle numbers, and 20 + ? = 30 → ? = 10
So likely the intended answer is 10
✔ Answer: 10

Q.7: Table
```
3 4 5 6
9 15 25 ?
```
First row: 3, 4, 5, 6
Second row: 9, 15, 25, ?
Find relation between rows.
Look at:
- 3 → 9 → 3×3 = 9
- 4 → 15 → 4×3.75 = 15? Not nice.
- 5 → 25 → 5×5 = 25
Wait — 3→9 = 3²
5→25 = 5²
But 4→15? 4² = 16, not 15
Hmm.
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1?
For n=3: (3+1)² -1 = 16 -1 = 15 → no, we have 9
Wait — maybe different pattern.
Try:
- 3 → 9 = 3 × 3
- 4 → 15 = 4 × 3.75 → no
- 5 → 25 = 5 × 5
- 6 → ? = 6 × ?
But 3×3=9, 5×5=25 → squares
But 4→15? 4×3.75 → no
Wait — maybe not multiplication.
Try differences:
From 3 to 9: +6
4 to 15: +11
5 to 25: +20
Now differences: +6, +11, +20
Differences of differences: 11-6=5, 20-11=9 → not constant
Wait — maybe it's n² + something?
- For n=3: 9 = 3² → yes
- n=4: 15 → 4² = 16 → 16 -1 = 15
- n=5: 25 = 5² → yes
- n=6: 6² = 36 → maybe 36?
But pattern: 3², 4² -1, 5², 6²?
That would be: 9, 15, 25, 36
But 4² -1 = 15 → yes
So:
- n=3: 3² = 9
- n=4: 4² -1 = 15
- n=5: 5² = 25
- n=6: 6² = 36
But alternating? 3², 4²-1, 5², 6² → not consistent
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1?
For n=3: (4)² -1 = 16-1=15 → no
Wait — look at the second row: 9, 15, 25, ?
Try to see if it's related to multiplication:
- 3×3 = 9
- 4×3.75 = 15 → no
- 5×5 = 25
- 6×? = ?
Wait — 3→9 = 3×3
4→15 = 3×5 → not helpful
Wait — maybe the second row is (first row) × (something)
But 3→9 = ×3
4→15 = ×3.75
5→25 = ×5
6→? = ×?
Not consistent.
Another idea: Look at the products:
Wait — maybe the second row is (first row)² - something?
- 3² = 9 → matches
- 4² = 16 → but 15 = 16 -1
- 5² = 25 → matches
- 6² = 36 → so maybe 36?
But why does 4 give 15 instead of 16?
Wait — maybe it's (n+1)² - 1 for n=4?
n=4: (4+1)² -1 = 25-1=24 → no
Wait — maybe it's n × (n+1)?
3×4 = 12 → no
Wait — let’s try:
- 3 → 9 = 3×3
- 4 → 15 = 3×5 → no
- 5 → 25 = 5×5
- 6 → ? = 6×6 = 36?
But 4→15 — not 16.
Wait — maybe it's (n^2) when n odd, (n^2 -1) when even?
- n=3 (odd): 3² = 9 ✔
- n=4 (even): 4² -1 = 15 ✔
- n=5 (odd): 5² = 25 ✔
- n=6 (even): 6² -1 = 36 -1 = 35
So answer: 35
Check: 6 → 35
Yes — pattern:
- Odd n: n²
- Even n: n² -1
So:
- 3 (odd) → 9
- 4 (even) → 15
- 5 (odd) → 25
- 6 (even) → 35
✔ Answer: 35
