Question

In three of the options, the 2^nd number is related to the 1^st number in a similar logical way. Which is the odd one out?

• A. 36-9
• B. 24-6
• C. 42-8
• D. 27-9

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Identifying the Odd One Out in Number Division 

Step 1: Examine the Relationship Between the Numbers in Each Option

• (a) \( 36 \div 9 = 4 \)
• (b) \( 24 \div 6 = 4 \)
• (d) \( 27 \div 9 = 3 \)

The division in (a), (b), and (d) gives a whole number. But in (c), \( 42 \div 8 = 5.25 \), which does not result in a whole number.

Step 2: Conclusion

Thus, the odd one out is (c) 42 ÷ 8, as the relationship does not match the others.
