Correct Answer

✅ Option a — 25

All Options:

  • A25
  • B64
  • C125
  • D216

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's analyze the mathematical properties of the numbers in the sequence:
- 8=23\displaystyle 8 = 2^3 (a perfect cube)
- 64=43\displaystyle 64 = 4^3 (a perfect cube)
- 125=53\displaystyle 125 = 5^3 (a perfect cube)
- 216=63\displaystyle 216 = 6^3 (a perfect cube)
- 25=52\displaystyle 25 = 5^2 (a perfect square, but not a perfect cube)

Since 25\displaystyle 25 is the only number in the sequence that is not a perfect cube, it is the odd man out.

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