SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

35

The pattern across each row is: middle number = first × last + (first − last), i.e. the product plus the difference of the outer numbers.

Row 1: \(18 \times 5 + (18-5) = 90 + 13 \ne 90\). Try simpler: \(18 \times 5 = 90\). Row 2: \(13 \times 11 = 143\). Row 3: \(7 \times 5 = 35\).

The middle entry in each row equals the product of the outer two numbers. Hence the missing value is 35.
