Odd Man Out Questions

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

The given number series follows a pattern that

196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, ?

    -27  -25   -23   -21  -19  -17

=> 81 - 17 = 64

Therefore, the series is 196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, 64.

The given number series follows the pattern that,

24×0 + 4  = 4  

4×1  + 9   = 13

13×2 + 16 = 42

42×3 + 25  = 151

151×4 + 36 =  640

Therefore, the odd number in the given series is 41

Here the given series is 1, 3, 6, 11, 20, 37, ??,

and the logic behind the series is

1 x 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 0 = 6

6 x 2 + (-1) = 11

11 x 2 + (-2) = 20

20 x 2 + (-3) = 37

37 x 2 + (-4) = 70

Hence, the next number in the given series is 70.

Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms. So, 634 is wrong.

Given number series follows a pattern that,

2

2 x 1.5 + 1 = 4

4 x 1.5 + 1 = 7 (not equal to 8)

7 x 1.5 + 1 = 11.5

11.5 x 1.5 + 1 = 18.25

18.25 x 1.5 + 1 = 28.375

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 8.

The given number series follows a pattern that

5 x 5 – 1 = 24

24 x 4 – 2 = 94

94 x 3 – 3 = 279

279 x 2 – 4 = 554

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
