In each number except 751, the difference of third and first digit is the middle one.4. In each number except 383, the product of first and third digits is the middle one.5. The pattern is x2 + 1, where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. But 64 is out of pattern. 6. The pattern is x2 +3, where x = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 etc. But, 102 is out of pattern.7. Sum of digits in each number, except 324 is 108. Pattern is 1st 2nd = 3rd ; 2nd x 3rd = 4th ; 3rd 4th = 5th But, 4th 5th = 50 500 = 25000 5000 = 6th.9. 2nd = (1st +1); 3rd = (2nd +2) ; 4th = (3rd + 3) ; 5th = (4th +4).10. The pattern is 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73. But 100 is not a perfect cube.11. The pattern is 12, 12, + 22, 12,+ 22 + 32, 12 + 22 + 32 + 42, 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + 52 , 12 + 22 + 32+ 42 + 52 + 62. But 50 is not of this pattern.12. Each of the numbers except 21, is an even number.13. Each of the numbers except 14, is an odd number.14. Each of the given numbers except 23, is a perfect square15. Each of the numbers except 28, is a multiple of 3.16. Each of the numbers except 81, is a prime number17. Each of the numbers except 72, is a perfect square.18. Each of the numbers except 54, is multiple of 5.19. The pattern is 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72. But, instead 52, it is 20 which is to be turned out.But, 18 = 6th 5th + 5 = 14 + 5 = 19.20. Go on adding 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20. So the number 47 is wrong and must be replaced by 46.21. The numbers are squares of odd natural numbers, starting from 5 up to 15.22. Add 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62. so 91 is wrong.23. The terms are successively divided by 12, 10, 8, 6, etc. So, 24 is wrong.24. The numbers are 13, 23, 33, 43, etc. So 124 is wrong; it must have been 53 i.e. 125.25. Terms at odd places are 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. and each term at even place is 16. So 9 is wrong26. The difference between two successive terms from the beginning are 7 5, 7, 5, 7, 5. So 40 is wrong. 27. The numbers are 7 8, 8 9, 9 10, 10 11, 11 12, 12 13. So 150 is wrong.28. Each number except 279 is a multiple of 11.29. The terms are alternately multiplied by 1.5 divided by 3. However 18.5 does not satisfy it.30. Alternately 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms.
