Identify the Odd One Out:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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.
