Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
The given series is 1/2, 1, 3/2, 6, 5/2, 3
1/2
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1 + 1/2 = 3/2
3/2 + 1/2 = 2 (Not 6)
2 + 1/2 = 5/2
5/2 + 1/2 = 3
Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 6.
Correct Answer: 1243
Explanation:
Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274
Here the sequence follows a pattern that
28
28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28
28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76
76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274
274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243
Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.
Correct Answer: 81
Explanation:
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.
Correct Answer: 279
Correct Answer: AY
Correct Answer: 308
Explanation:
Here the given series 222, 271, 308, 332, 348, 357 follows a pattern that
222
222 + 49 271
271 + 36 = 307 (NOT 308)
307 + 25 = 332
332 + 16 = 348
348 + 9 = 357
Hence, the odd man in the fiven number series is 308.
Correct Answer: 525
Explanation:
The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993
14
14 x 2 - 1 = 27
27 x 4 - 3 = 105
105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)
625 x 8 - 7 = 4993
Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.
Correct Answer: 196
Explanation:
Here in the given number series 49, 81, 121, 169, 196, 225
Except 196 all others are squares of odd numbers, whereas 196 is a square of 14 which is an even number.
Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 196.
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
The given number series is 120, 36, 6, 2, 1, 1
120
120/5 = 24 (not 36)
24/4 = 6
6/3 = 2
2/2 = 1
1/1 = 1
Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 24.
Correct Answer: 105
Explanation:
The given number series 100, 101, 97, 105, 90
100
100 + 1^2 = 101
101 - 2^2 = 97
97 + 3^2 = 106 ( not 105)
106 - 4^2 = 90
Hence, the odd man in the given series is 105.
