Question

In three of the options, the 2nd number is related to the 1st number in a similar logical way. Which is the odd one out?

• A. 456 - 120
• B. 165-30
• C. 349-108
• D. 735-90

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify the pattern in the given pairs 

• 456 → Sum of digits: 4 + 5 + 6 = 15, multiplied by 8: 15 × 8 = 120.
• 165 → Sum of digits: 1 + 6 + 5 = 12, multiplied by 2.5: 12 × 2.5 = 30.
• 349 → Sum of digits: 3 + 4 + 9 = 16, multiplied by 6.75: 16 × 6.75 = 108.

Step 2: Check 735 - 90

• 735 → Sum of digits: 7 + 3 + 5 = 15.
• If multiplied by 6, the expected result would be 15 × 6 = 90, but the pattern does not match exactly.

Step 3: Conclusion

Since the pattern does not hold for 735 - 90, it is the odd one out.
