Very Easy Question --
Sum of elements in a horizontal row == 90
In verticle column one element is 15.
Multiply of 15 * x * y = 90
xy = 6..

So Option A is the answer.

This question can also be done just by looking at unit digits. Unit Digit of horizontal is 0 (7+5+8). Vertical is 15xy. So, the unit digit of xy when multiplied with 5 should give a 0. Only possible option is 6. Rest all options give a 5 as unit digit.

Answer choice: A
