Question

Find the odd one out: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, 64

• A. 5
• B. 17
• C. 50
• D. 64
• E.

Hint:

Observe the pattern of consecutive additions to identify numbers that break the sequence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The pattern involves adding consecutive odd numbers: 2 + 3 = 5, 5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 7 = 17, 17 + 9 = 26, 26 + 11 = 37, 37 + 13 = 50. However, the next number should be 50 + 15 = 65, not 64. Thus, 50 is the odd one out.
