Series and Odd Man out Practice Test 7

Question : 15 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

787, 390, 193, 94.5, 45.25

Solution:

Concept:

In an odd-man-out series, all terms except one follow the same relation.

Explanation:

From

390

onwards:

\frac{390-4}{2}=193

\frac{193-4}{2}=94.5

, and

\frac{94.5-4}{2}=45.25

So each term is obtained by subtracting

4

and dividing by

2

For the first step to fit, the term before

390

should be

784

, because

\frac{784-4}{2}=390

But the given first term is

787

, so it breaks the pattern.

Answer:

The odd term is

787

(Option C).
