Odd Man Out Questions

In given Series, all the numbers except 54 are multiples of 5.

Given number series is 12  9  13.5  30.3  ?  341.7

Here the pattern followed by the series is

12 

12 x 0.75 = 9

9 x 1.5 = 13.5

13.5 x 2.25 = 30.3

30.37 x 3 = 91.12

91.12 x 3.75 = 341.71

Hence, the missing number in the sequence is 91.12.

Here the given series 7, 11, 19, 35, ?

follows a pattern that (x 2 - 3) i.e,

7

7 x 2 - 3 = 11

11 x 2 - 3 = 19

19 x 2 - 3 = 35

35 x 2 - 3 = 67

67 x 2 - 3 = 131

Hence the next number in the given number series is 67.

In each number except 383, the product of first and third digits is the middle one.

Here in the given number series 49, 81, 121, 169, 196, 225

Except 196 all others are squares of odd numbers, whereas 196 is a square of 14 which is an even number.

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 196.

The given series follows the pattern that,

18, 97, 26, 91, ?, 83

=> 18 + 8 = 26

=> 97 - 8 = 91

=> 26 + 8 = 34

=> 91 - 8 = 83

Hence, the missing number is 34.

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.

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
