1 x 50 = 50 3 x 25 = 75 5 x 20 = 100
2 x 50 = 100 4 x 25 = 100 5 x 20 = 100
SO, 5 IS THE CONFIRM AND FULL STOP ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION PAST YEARS.

This is the stupidest thing ever, not all gear shifts follow the same pattern.

If we think the middle point is *Nutral* in between 3 & 4 then the answer goes *R*
Because the gear shaft in my car has same pattern

(1*3)+(3-1)=5
(2*4)+(4-2)=10

(2*2)-1=3
(3*3)-2=7
(4*4)-3=13

1+3+5=9
2+4+3=9

7 is the only remaining number (0 to 9) that does not have any curves, only straight lines.

R only applies to certain vehicles and therefore it cannot be true in all cases.

It’s just depending on how u look at it, it could be a representation of a car’s gear, or it could be whatever else you can think of.

R is the answer because Itâ€™s representation of a stick shift, where 1-5 are gears , and R is represent as reverse.
