Q:

Find the odd man out of the series 4, 5, 9, 18, 32, 59

 A) 18 B) 5 C) 59 D) 32

Explanation:

In the given series,

2nd term = 1st term + $\inline \fn_jvn \small 1^{2}$  =4 +1 = 5

3rd term = 2nd term + $\inline \fn_jvn \small 2^{2}$ =5+4= 9

4th term = 3rd term + $\inline \fn_jvn \small 3^{2}$ =9+9=18

5th term = 4th term + $\inline \fn_jvn \small 4^{2}$ = 18+16=34

$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\therefore$ odd term is 32

Q:

7, 8, 18, 57, ?, 1165, 6996

 A) 228 B) 542 C) 232 D) 415

Explanation:

Here 2nd number = 1st number $\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$ 1 +1

3rd number = 2nd number $\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$ 2 +2

4th number = 3rd number $\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$ 3 +3 and so on..

$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\therefore$ 5th number = 4th number $\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$ 4 +4 =57$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$ 4 + 4 =232.

Q:

Find the odd man out of the series 888, 440, 216, 104, 48, 22, 6 ?

 A) 104 B) 48 C) 22 D) 216

Explanation:

In the given series,

2nd term = $\inline \fn_jvn \small \left (\frac{1^{st}term-8}{2} \right ) = \left ( \frac{888-8}{2} \right )=440$

3rd term = $\inline \fn_jvn \small \left ( \frac{2^{nd}term-8}{2} \right )=\left ( \frac{440-8}{2} \right )=216$

and so on...

Here 6th term = $\inline \fn_jvn \small \left ( \frac{5^{th}term-8}{2} \right )=\left ( \frac{48-8}{2} \right )=20$

$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\therefore$ 22 is wrong.
