Question

Find out the odd term from the series: 2,5,10,17,26,37,50,64.
O 10
O 50
O 64
​

Answer 1

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

5-2=3. 3-5-7-9-11-13-14

10-5=5

17-10=7

26-17=9

37-26=11

50-37=13

64-50=14

Answer 2

Answer: 64 is the odd term in the given series.

Given: We are given a series 2,5,10,17,26,37,50,64

To Find: We need to find the odd term in the given series.

Step-by-Step Explanation: Firstly, we need to find some pattern in the given series.

Step 1: We will calculate the difference between terms of the given series:

$d_{1}$ = 5 - 2 = 3

$d_{2}$ = 10 - 5 = 5

$d_{3}$ = 17 - 10 = 7

$d_{4}$ = 26 - 7 = 9

$d_{5}$ = 37 - 26 = 11

$d_{6}$ = 50 - 37 = 13

$d_{7}$ = 64 - 50 = 14

We can see that the difference is increasing by 2 with each consecutive term but $d_{7}$ ≠ $d_{6}+2$.  $d_{7}$ should be 15 and the final term of the original series should be 65. But it is given that the last term is 64. Therefore 64 is the odd term in the above series.
