The numbers in the table follows this pattern;

a x 2 = b; b x 3 = c & c x 4 = d

So the first row would be;

2 x  2 = 4
4 x 3 = 12 &
12 x 4 = 48

Similarly we can show that the same logic holds good for rows 2 & 3

3 x 2 = 6
6 x 3 = 18 &
18 x 4 = 72

4 x 2 = 8
8 x 3 = 24 &
24 x 4 = 96

So we can find the missing numbers as;

5 x 2 = 10
10 x 3 = 30 &
30 x 4 = 120

So answer = 10, 30 & 120
