  4. D
    9

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let us analyze the mathematical relationship between the numbers in each of the three diagrams from Q.83 in image_146f63.png:
In each diagram, there are two upper circles (Top-Left and Top-Right), one central circle (Middle), and one lower circle (Bottom).

Let's find the pattern using the first two completed sets:

First Diagram:

* Top-Left =
* Top-Right =
* Middle =
* Bottom =

The relationship is:





Second Diagram:

* Top-Left =
* Top-Right =
* Middle =
* Bottom =

Applying the same formula:





The pattern holds true for both diagrams. Now, let's apply it to the Third Diagram to find the missing value ():

* Top-Left =
* Top-Right =
* Middle =
* Bottom =

Using the same relation:









Thus, the missing number is 9.
