Show Hint

When a center number seems tied to the two ends, try operations like product and then divide by a constant—verify across rows before applying to the missing entry.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Confirm the relation \(2\times\text{middle}=\text{left}\times\text{right}\) on the first two rows: \(2\times225=450=15\times30\) and \(2\times70=140=7\times20\).

Step 2: Apply it to the third row, where left \(=3\) and right \(=8\): \(3\times8=24\).

Step 3: Divide by \(2\) to isolate the middle value: \(24\div2=12\).
\[ \boxed{12} \]
