    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).
