Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: 5061
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Many odd-one-out questions hide a pattern in digit operations. Here we test attentiveness to digit sums.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Compute the digit sum for each value and compare.
Step-by-Step Solution:
4025: 4 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 11.7202: 7 + 2 + 0 + 2 = 11.6023: 6 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 11.5061: 5 + 0 + 6 + 1 = 12.Three numbers have digit sum 11; one has digit sum 12.
Verification / Alternative check:
Any other simple properties (parity, divisibility by 5, etc.) produce multiple mismatches; digit-sum uniformity uniquely isolates the outlier.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Stopping at last-digit patterns (like ending in 5) and missing the consistent digit-sum pattern.
Final Answer:
5061
