Q:

Find the odd number out of the following number series?

2 4 8 11.5 18.25 28.375

A) 18.25 B) 28.375
C) 11.5 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8

Explanation:

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.
