Odd Man Out Questions

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.

The above given sequence follows a pattern that,

$$\begin{gathered} 1 \\ 22 = 4 \\ 33 = 27 \\ 44 = 256 \\ 55 = 3125 \\ 66 = 46656 \\ and so on... \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the next two numbers in the given sequence is 256 & 3125.

The given number series 11, 13, 30, 96, ? follows a pattern that,

11

11 x 1 + 2 = 13

13 x 2 + 4 = 30

30 x 3 + 6 = 96

96 x 4 + 8 = 392

Hence, the next number in the given series is 392.

3, 7, 6, 5, 9, 3, 12, 1, 15, ... has two different series

1) 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.....

2) 7, 5, 3, 1, .....

-1 is the next number.

Here the given number series is 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, ?

The next number in the given series can be found such a way that the number series follows a pattern,

$$\begin{gathered} 22 - 4 = 0 \\ 32 - 6 = 3 \\ 42 - 8 = 8 \\ 52 - 10 = 15 \\ 62 - 12 = 24 \\ 72 - 14 = 35 \\ Hence, the next number in the iven series is 35. \end{gathered}$$

Here the given number series is 270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243

270 - 9 = 261

261 + 18 = 279

279 - 27 = 252

252 + 36 = 288 (not equals to 289)

288 - 45 = 243

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 289.

The given series is 12, 48, 168, 502, 1260

12

12 x 4 = 48

48 x 3.5 = 168

168 x 3 = 504

504 x 2.5 = 1260

Hence, the odd man out in the given series is 502.
