Can you answer what can be the (?) mark, with explanation
My answer is
12
Reasoning:
Think about an analog clock:
3 - 2 -> 1 hour, 2 - 12 -> 2 hours
10 - 4 -> 6 hours, 4 - 9 -> 7 hours (continuing counterclockwise)
8 - 6 -> 2 hours, 6 - 3 -> 3 hours
9 - 6 -> 3 hours, 6 - 2 -> 4 hours
In each one the # of hours goes up by one, so:
7 - 4 -> 3 hours, 4 - 12 -> 4 hours
