Odd Man Out Questions

Given number series is 9 17 11 19 13 

Here the pattern is

• 9

• 9 + 8 = 17

• 17 - 6 = 11

• 11 + 8 = 19

• 19 - 6 = 13

• 13 + 8 = 21

• 21 - 6 = 15

• 15 + 8 = 23

Given number series is 5  19  49  101  181  295 ?

Here the series follows pattern that

5   19   49   101   181   295  ?

  14   30   52    80     114   (difference)

      16  22   28     34 (difference)

         6     6     6  (Common difference)

Therefore, the missing number in the series is ? = 295 + 115 + 34 + 6 = 449.

the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series

First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ??

Second Series : 12,18,26, ??

So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :

• Pattern of Series 1 :

6 divide 4 : 1.5

Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2

Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5

So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on

So first series will look like

4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90

• Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??

Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12)

Series will be like 12,18,26,36.

For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Here the series follows,

194

194 - (1x1 - 1) = 194

194 - (2x2 - 1) = 191

191 - (3x3 - 1) = 183

183 - (4x4 - 1) = 168

168 - (5x5 - 1) = 144

The given number series 410, 409, 413, 404, ? , follows a pattern that 

410

$$\begin{gathered} 410 - 13 = 409 \\ 409 + 22 = 413 \\ 413 - 33 = 404 \\ 404 + 42 = 420 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the next number in the given series is 420.

The given number series is 720, 732, 708, 742, 696

720

720 + 12 = 732

732 - 24 = 708

708 + 36 = 744 (Not 742)

744 - 48 = 696

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 742.

Here given series follows a pattern that

0.25, 8, 128, 1024, ?

0.25 x 32 = 8

8 x 16 = 128

128 x 8 = 1024

1024 x 4 = 4096

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.
