The pattern appears to be column-wise. (Row 1 * Row 2) + Row 3 = a constant. Column 1: (2*3)+3=9. Column 2: (8*2)+6=22. This pattern is not consistent. Another pattern: In each column, the product of the first two numbers is a multiple of the third. C1: 2*3=6 (2*3). C2: 8*2=16 (4*4). C3: 9*4=36. We need a number that 36 is a multiple of. The source answer is 'c' for 1, which does not fit these patterns.
