Question

Find the odd one in this sequence - 5, 10, 15, 26, 37

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 26

Hint:

In sequences, identify the common difference or ratio. An outlier will not follow this established pattern.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Analyze the sequence for a common pattern or progression.


Step 2: Notice that all numbers except 26 increase by 5 (5 to 10, 10 to 15, 15 to 20 would be expected, then 20 to 25, etc.).


Step 3: Identify 26 as not fitting this pattern as it does not follow the +5 progression.
