2 x 2 + 2 x 2 = (4 + 4) = 8

8 x 3 + 3 x 3 = (24 + 9) = 33

33 x 4 + 4 x 4 = (132 + 16) = 148

148 x 5 + 5 x 5 = (740 + 25) = 765.

Q:

Find the odd term from the given series of numbers  ?

125, 127, 130, 135, 142, 153, 165 ?

A) 153 B) 165

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 165

Explanation:

From the beginning, the next term comes by adding prime numbers in a sequence of 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... to its previous term. But 165 will not be in the series as it must be replaced by 166 since 153+13 = 166.
