Question

Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does NOT belong to that group?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole mumbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)

A.

72-89

B.

19-36

C.

24-41

D.

57-67

Correct option is D

Identify a possible pattern in each pair
We'll check for common mathematical relationships (like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.).
A → 72 and 89
B → 19 and 36
C → 24 and 41
D → 57 and 67

Check the differences
72 → 89 → Difference = 89 - 72 = 17
19 → 36 → Difference = 36 - 19 = 17
24 → 41 → Difference = 41 - 24 = 17
57 → 67 → Difference = 67 - 57 = 10
 Identify the odd one out
The first three pairs have a difference of 17, while the fourth pair has a difference of 10.
Conclusion:
The odd one out is D (57-67).
