Given below there are three number series (I, II, and III). One of the numbers in each series (I, II, and III) is wrong or (odd one out).
Series I: 590, 615, 651, 711, 795, 927
Series II: 64, 164, 285, 510, 546, 770
Series III: 18, 25.5, 40.5, 63, 93, 131
If the correct number of the series (i), (ii), and (iii) are represented as (X, Y, and Z) respectively, then which of the following equations is/are correct?
I. (X - Z) + 5 = Y - 152 + 2
II. (252 - Y) = (X + Z) - 785
III. Z + 300 - (X + Y) = 940
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSeries I: 590, 615, 651, 711, 795, 927
Logic used:
591 + (12 x 2) = 615
615 + (12 x 3) = 651
651 + (12 x 5) = 711
711 + (12 x 7) = 795
795 + (12 x 11) = 927
The wrong number in the series is (590).
Series II: 64, 164, 285, 510, 546, 770
Logic used:
64 + (6 + 4)2 = 164
164 + (1 + 6 + 4)2 = 285
285 + (2 + 8 + 5)2 = 510
510 + (5 + 1 + 0)2 = 546
546 + (5 + 4 + 6)2 = 771
The wrong number in the series is (770).
Series III: 18, 25.5, 40.5, 63, 93, 131
18 + 7.5 = 25.5
25.5 + 15 = 40.5
40.5 + 22.5 = 63
63 + 30 = 93
93 + 37.5 = 130.5
The wrong number in the series is (131).
Value of X, Y, and Z are 591, 771, and 130.5 respectively.
In equation (I):(X - Z) + 5 = Y - 152 + 2
⇒ (591 - 130.5) + 5 = 771 - 225 + 2
⇒ 460.5 + 5 = 548
⇒ 465.5 ≠ 548
So, equation (I) is not correct.
In equation (II):(252 - Y) = (X + Z) - 785
⇒ (625 - 771) = (591 + 130.5) - 785
⇒ - 146 ≠ - 63.5
So, equation (II) is not correct.
In equation (III): Z + 300 - (X + Y) = 940
⇒ 130.5 + 300 - (591 + 771) = 940
⇒ 430.5 - 1362 = 940
⇒ - 931.5 ≠ 940
So, equation (III) is not correct.
Hence, the correct answer is none of the above.
