Find the odd man out in the following series: 190, 145, 136, 352, 460, 324, 631, 244 .

Option d: 324. Solution: Let's calculate the sum of the digits for each number in the series: - 190 1 + 9 + 0 = 10 - 145 1 + 4 + 5 = 10 - 136 1 + 3 + 6 = 10 - 352 3 + 5 + 2 = 10 - 460 4 + 6 + 0 = 10 - 324 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 - 631 6 + 3 + 1 = 10 - 244 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 All the numbers in the series have a digit sum of 10 , except 324 , which has a digit sum of 9 . Therefore, 324 is the odd man out. Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Find the odd man out in the following series: $190, 145, 136, 352, 460, 324, 631, 244$.

The correct answer is Option d: 324. Let's calculate the sum of the digits for each number in the series: - $190 \implies 1 + 9 + 0 = 10$ - $145 \implies 1 + 4 + 5 = 10$ - $136 \implies 1 + 3 + 6 = 10$ - $352 \implies 3 + 5 + 2 = 10$ - $460 \implies 4 + 6 + 0 = 10$ - $324 \implies 3 + 2 + 4 = 9$ - $631 \implies 6 + 3 + 1 = 10$ - $244 \implies 2 + 4 + 4 = 10$ All the numbers in the series have a digit sum of $10$, except $324$, which has a digit sum of $9$. Therefore, $324$ is the odd man out. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.

✅ Option d — 324

All Options:

A136
B244
C460
D324

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's calculate the sum of the digits for each number in the series:
-

\displaystyle 190 \implies 1 + 9 + 0 = 10

\displaystyle 145 \implies 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

\displaystyle 136 \implies 1 + 3 + 6 = 10

\displaystyle 352 \implies 3 + 5 + 2 = 10

\displaystyle 460 \implies 4 + 6 + 0 = 10

\displaystyle 324 \implies 3 + 2 + 4 = 9

\displaystyle 631 \implies 6 + 3 + 1 = 10

\displaystyle 244 \implies 2 + 4 + 4 = 10

All the numbers in the series have a digit sum of

\displaystyle 10

, except

\displaystyle 324

, which has a digit sum of

\displaystyle 9

. Therefore,

\displaystyle 324

is the odd man out.

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