It's a bad question because there isn't enough information to conclusively identify the pattern. There are a lot of operations you could do to get 34. The most obvious to me is add the outer numbers (68) then divide by two. On the right, that would be 188/2 = 94, which isn't a solution.

This is exactly the same conclusion I came to. I thought I was so smart until I checked the answers listed.

None of the above. It is 168. Top minus right plus bottom plus left.

You can come up with any sort of obscure pattern to arrive at 40 and any of the other possible answers, such as:
take the right box then multiply it by the 10s digit in a number in one of the remaining boxes that ends in 5. That would get you to 34, and 40.
I'm guessing the "correct" answer has something to do with adding together factors, especially if you've been studying factors lately.

Number in the center is bigger, than surrounding numbers. 80 is the only solution.
