Brain Teaser with Answer

The missing value can be found in the following way.

Each of the soccer balls has 6 black marks, so the value of a soccer ball is 6.

Each of the clocks is showing 3 as the time; therefore, the value of a clock is 3.

Each of the basketballs has 4 arcs, so the value of a basketball is 4.

Now applying the same logic in the final step, we get the missing value:

The clock shows the time as 2, so the value is 2.

The soccer ball has 3 black marks, so the value is 3.

Basketball has 3 arcs, so the value of basketball is 3.

Now,

Clock * Soccer Ball - Basketball = ??

Applying BODMAS rule, we get

2 * 3 - 3 = 3

So, the missing value is 3.
