Question - 7
In this logic puzzle, each type of geometric shape equals a unique number. You need to find the sum of all the geometric shapes in the middle line and insert it instead of the question mark. Possible answer options are shown below.
Correct answer = 4.
If you look at the top line, you can see that there is only one possible arrangement of numbers: 1+1+1+3+3=9. Therefore, an inverted triangle is equal to 1, a circle is equal to 3. In the middle column, we can remove the known two objects and minus them from the total. Therefore, two stars and one corner are equal to 14. This is mono to substitute in the first column. As a result, we get that the corner is equal to 2. Next, in the first column, we substitute numbers into all known objects. We get that two asterisks are equal to 12. Or one asterisk is equal to 6. Next, in the second column, we substitute numbers into all known objects. We find that the cross is equal to 8. As a result, we know the numerical values ​​of all geometric figures. After this, we substitute the numbers in the middle line. We get the number 27.
