Given examples (a) and (b), find the pattern and determine the values for subsequent questions. Example (a): Top=11, Left=10, Right=2, Bottom=9. Example (b): Top=12, Left=9, Right=4, Bottom=24.

The problems require finding a pattern in the given examples (a) and (b) and applying it to the subsequent questions. Let's analyze the examples:

Example (a):

• Top: 11
• Left: 10
• Right: 2
• Bottom: 9

Example (b):

• Top: 12
• Left: 9
• Right: 4
• Bottom: 24

Let's find the rules that work for both examples:

1. Rule for the Top number:
   • For (a): $10 + 2 - 1 = 12
