Correct Answer

✅ Option c — 26

All Options:

  • A24
  • B30
  • C26
  • D9

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's inspect the divisibility of the numbers in the series:
- 6=3×2\displaystyle 6 = 3 \times 2
- 9=3×3\displaystyle 9 = 3 \times 3
- 15=3×5\displaystyle 15 = 3 \times 5
- 21=3×7\displaystyle 21 = 3 \times 7
- 24=3×8\displaystyle 24 = 3 \times 8
- 30=3×10\displaystyle 30 = 3 \times 10

All the numbers in the series are multiples of 3\displaystyle 3, except 26\displaystyle 26, which is not divisible by 3\displaystyle 3 (26=3×8+2\displaystyle 26 = 3 \times 8 + 2).

Therefore, 26\displaystyle 26 is the odd man out.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
