Odd Man Out Questions

There are two series, beginning respectively with 3 and 7. In one 3 is added and in another 2 is subtracted.

The next number is 1 - 2 = -1.

The terms are alternatively multiplied by 1.5 and divided by 3. However, 18.5 does not satisfy it.

Here the given number series follows a pattern of two alternate series.

1. 7 19 31 ...(Difference of 12)

2. 9 18 27 ...(Difference of 9)

Here the odd number is 29 instead of 27

And the next number is 31 + 12 = 43 & 27 + 9 = 36

In the given series numbers are arranged following the rule,

55,44, 33, 22, 11

 Therefore, the missing number is 27.

Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315.

Here it follows a pattern that

4

4 x 1.5 = 6

6 x 2 = 12

12 x 2.5 = 30

30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81

90 x 3.5 = 315

Hence the odd one in the series is 81.

The series given follow the pattern

+2, +2+4, +2+4+6, +2+4+6+8, +2+4+6+8+10,...

Here ? = 7 + 2 + 4 = 13.

The next number in the series is

143 143 136 110

      0    7      26 (Differences)

 $$\begin{gathered} 13 - 1 , 23 - 1, 33 - 1, 43 - 1,... \\ Now the next number is given by \\ 110 - (43 - 1) = 110 - 63 = 47. \end{gathered}$$

The Sum of the digits in each number, Except 324 is 10.
