Find the value to be placed in Circle 3 based on the given pattern:

Accepted Answer

The problem follows a consistent pattern: divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by $$ 2 $$.

- For Circle 1: $$ \frac{84}{12} = 7 $$, and $$ 7 	imes 2 = 14 $$.  
- For Circle 2: $$ \frac{81}{9} = 9 $$, and $$ 9 	imes 2 = 18 $$.  
- For Circle 3: $$ \frac{88}{11} = 8 $$, and $$ 8 	imes 2 = 16 $$.

Thus, the value to be placed in Circle 3 is **16**, which corresponds to option **(b)**.
