Question

One of the pots does not belong to the group of pots shown below. What is the number written on that pot?
\

Hint:

When identifying patterns in numbers, check if there is a consistent mathematical property, such as the sum of digits, divisibility rules, or arithmetic sequences.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 62

Step 1: Analyze the pattern.
The numbers on the pots follow a specific pattern. If we examine the numbers carefully, we notice that all the numbers in the pots except one have a property where the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. For example: - 57: 5 + 7 = 12 (not divisible by 9) - 43: 4 + 3 = 7 (not divisible by 9) - 51: 5 + 1 = 6 (not divisible by 9) - 62: 6 + 2 = 8 (not divisible by 9) Step 2: Identify the outlier.
Looking at the sums of the digits of each number on the pots, we see that 62 is the only number where the sum of digits is not following the pattern divisible by 9.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the pot with the number \( \boxed62 \) does not belong to the group.
