14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

A) 27 B) 105
C) 525 D) 4993
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 525

Explanation:

The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

14

14 x 2 - 1 = 27

27 x 4 - 3 = 105

105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)

625 x 8 - 7 = 4993

 

Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.
