SSC CHSL - 20th October 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q76

Identify the number that does NOT belong to the following series.

81, 54, 36, 27, 22

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 22.

Understanding

Given series: 81, 54, 36, 27, 22

The series follows the pattern:

8 + 1 = 9

5 + 4 = 9

3 + 6 = 9

2 + 7 = 9

2 + 2 = 4

The term 22 in the series is odd one out.

So the odd term is 22.
