This puzzle asks us to find the pattern that connects the numbers in the 'V' shape to the number at the bottom.

  1. Identify the numbers in the 'V' shape.

    • Left arm of 'V': 4
    • Right arm of 'V': 5
    • Point of 'V': 2
    • Bottom number: 10
  2. Find the rule.

    Let's try multiplying the numbers at the top of the 'V' arms and then dividing by the number at the point of the 'V'.

    First, multiply the numbers at the top of the 'V' arms:

    4×5=204 \times 5 = 20

    Next, divide this product by the number at the point of the 'V':

    20÷2=1020 \div 2 = 10

    This result matches the given bottom number, 10.

    The rule they used is: (Left arm number ×\times Right arm number) ÷\div Point of V number = Bottom number.
