ODD MAN OUT & SERIES
In any type of problems,a set of numbers is given
in such a way that each one except one satiesfies a particular definite
property.The one which does not satisfy that characteristic is to be taken out.
Some important properties of numbers are given below :
1.Prime Number Series
Example:
2,3,5,7,11,.................
2.Even Number Series
Example:
2,4,6,8,10,12,............
3.Odd Number Series:
Example:
1,3,5,7,9,11,...................
4.Perfect Squares:
Example:
1,4,9,16,25,..............
5.Perfect Cubes:
Example:
1,8,27,64,125,.................
6.Multiples of Number Series:
Example:
3,6,9,12,15,..............are multiples of 3
7.Numbers in Arthimetic Progression(A.P):
Example:
13,11,9,7................
8.Numbers in G.P:
Example:
48,12,3,.....
SOME MORE PROPERTIES:
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+n
13. If 21,31,.......... is series then the relation is n2-n+1.
14. If 19,29,.......... is series then the relation is n2-n-1.
15. If series starts with 0,3,............ the series will be on n2-1 relation.
