- the given question is wrong
exact question is 2,1,2,3,8,0,1,9,1,2,?
2^1=2
2^3=8
8^0=1
1^9=1
1^2=1
so ans is 1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(5)
- first digit is the sum of next two digits.
eg)743=>7=4+3
633=>6=3+3
but 742=>7!=4+2
so)odd one is 742 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
- 2^1=2
2^3=8
8^0=1
1^9=1
1^2=1
1^0=1
in this problem last two digit interchanged - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(3)
i think
2+1+2+3=8
8+0+1=9
9+4=13- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(10)
- Sorry!!
ans is 3..
2+1+2+3=8
8+0+1=9
9+1+2=13
but the series contains only single digit.. so ans is 3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(7)
- 742 IS THE ODD ONE....because rest all numbers follow the rule that sum of digits at units and tens place is equal to the digit at the hundreds place digit

- in each case sum of all the digit is a even number
except 742.
sum of 742=(7+4+2)=13 (odd) [correct answer]
sum of 743=14 (even)
sum of 633=12 (even)
sum of 853=16 (even)
sum of 871=16 (even)
sum of 990=18 (even)
sum of 532=10 (even) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- it should be like this:
1+2=3
8+0+1=9
1+2+0+1=4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- Ans is 742
742--> 7-4=3 but it is given as 2
743--> 7-4=3
633--> 6-3=3
853--> 8-5=3
871--> 8-7=1
990--> 9-9=0
532--> 5-3=2
that is subtracting 1st 2 digits gives third digit.

- 742
evry 1st digit is the sum of 2nd and 3rd - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- third digit is the difference of first two digits
i.e. 7-4=3
6-3=3
8-5=3..........
but "742" is not following this sequence, so it is odd one. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Ans is 40..
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(6)
- 2,1,2,3,8,0,1,9,1,2,0,1
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- last two digit add 4+2=6,4+3=7,3+3=6,5+3=8;7+1=8,9+0=9,
3+2=5 ans.a - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- first digit is the sum of next two digits
743->7=4+3
633->6=3+3
742->7!=4+2...........
so 742 is odd - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 742=>7=4+2 the is case wrong
743=>7=4+3 correct
633=>6=3+3 correct
853=>8=5+3 correct
871=>8=7+1 correct
990=>9=9+0 correct
532=>5=3+2 correct - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 4) 742 , as its first digit (i.e 7), is not sum of last two digits (i.e. 4 and 2) like others.
- 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
