lols.It means 2.5 is the right answer.Congrats entrana you are a genius.

Here is the logic:
12-6=6
6-3=3(=6/2)
so 4-x=1.5 =>x=2.5

Too easy.

How about 2.72?

12 - 3 = 9 square root of 9 = 3 + 3 = 6
06 - 2 = 4 square root of 4 = 2 + 2 = 4
04 - 1 = 3 square root of 3 = 1.72 +1 = 2.72

:-D :-D

OR

12 * (6/2) ka root = 6
6 * (3/2) ka root = 3
4 * (3/4) ka root 1.72...

:-D:-D;-):rolleyes:
