Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question
mark (?) in it.
(16, 4, 4)
(30, 5, 15)
(8, 2, ?)
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
2
The pattern involves a series of operations based on the previous two numbers. By calculating each operation step by step, the correct number replacing the question mark is 2.
