Odd Man Out Questions

Here the given series is 123 112 133 112 143

It follows a pattern that,

123

123 - 11 = 112

112 + 21 = 133

133 - 31 = 102 (not 122)

102 + 41 = 143

Hence, the odd man in the given number sequence is 122 instead of 102.

The given number series is 96, 95, 87, 78, ? 

It follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 96 \\ 96 - 12 = 95 \\ 95 - 23 = 95 - 8 = 87 \\ 87 - 32 = 87 - 9 = 78 \\ 78 - 43 = 78 - 64 = 14 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 14.

The given number series is 3  24  186  1008  5040  20160

Here  the given series follows a pattern that,

3

3 x 8 = 24

24 x 7 = 168 not 186

168 x 6 = 1008

1008 x 5 =  5040

5040 x 4 = 20160

Hence the Odd One in the number series is 186.

The above given sequence follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 1 \\ 22 = 4 \\ 33 = 27 \\ 44 = 256 \\ 55 = 3125 \\ 66 = 46656 \\ and so on... \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the next two numbers in the given sequence is 256 & 3125.

The given series is 1 6 27 124 650

1

1 + 2 x 2 = 6

6 + 3 x 3 = 27

27 + 4 x 4 = 124

124 + 5 x 5 = 645 (NOT 650)

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 650.

The given number series follows a pattern that

11

11 - 5.5 = 5.5

5.5 + 4.5 = 10

10 - 3.5 = 6.5

6.5 + 2.5 = 9

9 - 1.5 = 7.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.

The given number series is 5, 8, 40, 90, 664

5

5 - 1 x 2 = 8

8 - 3 x 4 = 20 (NOT 40)

20 - 5 x 6 = 90

90 - 7 x 8 = 664

The given number series 22, 26, 42, 78, 142, 244 follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 22 \\ 22 + 22 = 22 + 4 = 26 \\ 26 + 42 = 26 + 16 = 42 \\ 42 + 62 = 42 + 36 = 78 \\ 78 + 82 = 78 + 64 = 142 \\ 142 + 102 = 142 + 100 = 242 \end{gathered}$$ 

Hence, the odd one in the given number series is 244.
