Missing number in a wheel  § Q. What is missing number in following wheel as described below ?                              Pic 1 ➤ Soln-1: The most talked solution to this problem is given by the following observation: The solution is 26. This is a well established solution of this problem. A YouTube reference is also available for this problem. One can check it at:  https://youtu.be/vtFEiQM-G5I?si=VZxnBFaPYNmbIz9E ➤ Soln-2: Second solution stems from following fact: In the Pic 1, see the first quadrant and third quadrant in their outer circle opposite shells, we have  8+6 =14 and 4+10 = 14. Both are having constant values 14. In the corresponding inner circle 20+14 = 34 in the 3rd quadrant. In the analogy, if we examine second and fourth quadrant with values in their outer circle opposite shells, we have 7+4=5+6= 11. Therefore assuming 4th  quadrant would be greater than the second quadrant ...
