Question

In three of the options, the 2nd number is related to the 151number in a similar logical way.Which is the odd one out?

• A. 764 - 17
• B. 153 - 9
• C. 679 - 21
• D. 962 - 17

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In each pair, the 2nd number is related to the 1st number by a pattern or arithmetic relationship. For example, let’s examine the following:

• (764- 17): The sum of the digits of 764 is 7+6+4 = 17.
• (153- 9): The sum of the digits of 153 is 1+5+3 = 9.
• (962- 17): The sum of the digits of 962 is 9+6+2 = 17.

However, for (679- 21), the sum of the digits of 679 is 6 + 7 +9 = 22, which doesn’t match the 21. Hence, (C) is the odd one out

Conclusion: Hence, (C) is the odd one out
