FInd the odd man out of the given series of numbers?

120, 36, 6, 2, 1, 1
A) 120
B) 36
C) 6
D) 2

Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms. So, 634 is wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B) is correct:

36 is odd one in the series. According to the series pattern there should be 24 instead of 36 .Inserting 24 on the place of 36 will complete the series.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are supposed to find the odd man out of the given following series of numbers as:

120, 36, 6, 2, 1, 1

So, before proceeding for this, we must know the pattern followed by the series given in the question.

For that, we must apply different perspectives to get the pattern accurately.

So, we must start with the most common patterns which are addition and subtraction of numbers.

But, here the pattern of addition or subtraction is not applying.

and the pattern of division is also not applying

Therefore, applying the pattern of multiplication we get:

1*1=1

1*2=2

2*3=6

6*4=24

24*5=120

The pattern follows multiplying 1,2,3,4,5 from the back of the given series

Therefore,36 is odd one in the series. According to the series pattern there should be 24 instead of 36 .Inserting 24 on the place of 36 will complete the series.
