Odd One Out/Classification

Question:

Identify the Odd One Out:

Options:

175

137

247

213

Correct Answer:

247

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 247

Note: The answer is as per the NTA official key. However, the logic used by NTA is not explicitly clear, and multiple interpretations are possible as explained below.

Alternative valid observations:

Option 2: 137- it can be the answer because of the following:

  • 175 = 5 × 5 × 7 → composite
  • 137 → prime
  • 247 = 13 × 19 → composite
  • 213 = 3 × 71 → composite

 Only 137 is prime, others are not. So it can be considered the odd one out

Option 4 : 213 can be the odd one out because it is the only number in the list that is divisible by 3. The others are all non-multiples of 3.
