ODD MAN OUT & SERIES

• In such type of problems, a set of numbers is given in such a way that each one except one satisfies a particular definite property. The one which does not satisfy that characteristic is to be taken out.

Some important Series:

I. Prime Number SeriesII. Even Number SeriesIII. Odd Number Series:IV.Perfect Squares:V. Perfect Cubes:VI.Multiples of Number Series:VII.Numbers in Arthimetic Progression(A.P):VIII.Numbers in G.P:

SOME POSSIBLE RELATIONS:

1) If any series starts with 0,3,.....,generally the relation will be (n²-1).

2) If any series starts with 0,2,.....,generally the relation will be (n²-n).

3) If any series starts with 0,6,.....,generally the relation will be (n³-n).

4) If 36 is found in the series then the series will be in n² relation.

5) If 35 is found in the series then the series will be in n²-1 relation.

6) If 37 is found in the series then the series will be in n²+1 relation.

7) If 125 is found in the series then the series will be in n³ relation.

8) If 124 is found in the series then the series will be in n³-1 relation.

9) If 126 is found in the series then the series will be in n³+1 relation.

10)If 20,30 found in the series then the series will be in n²-n relation.

11)If 60,120,210,........... is found as series then the series will be in n³-n relation.

12)If 222,............ is found then relation is n³+n13)13. If 21,31,.......... is series then the relation

is n³-n+1.14)If 19,29,.......... is series then the relation is

n³-n-1.
