Odd Man Out Questions

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.

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.

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

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.

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 series follows the following pattern

5 X 5 – 5 = 20

20 X 4 – 4 = 76

76 X 3 – 3 = 225

225 X 2 – 2 = 448

Hence, the term 225 denoted by (d) completes the series

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

Given 311   230   294   ?   281   256

311 - (9x9) = 230

230 + (8x8) = 294

294 - (7x7) = 245

245 + (6x6) = 281

281 - (5x5) = 256

Hence, the missing number in the given series is 245.
