    Question

    Three of the following four number triads are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the number triad that does not belong to that group? (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, 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.

    31 - 46 - 41

    B.

    29 - 44 - 38

    C.

    24 - 39 - 33

    D.

    17 - 32 - 26

    Correct option is A

    Logic = First + 15 = Second
    Second - 6 = Third
    Let’s apply this logic to each triad:
    Triad A: 31 - 46 - 41
    31 + 15 = 46 
    46 - 6 = 40 not 41
    So, Triad A follows the pattern.
    Triad B: 29 - 44 - 38
    29 + 15 = 44 
    44 - 6 = 38 
    So, Triad B follows the pattern.
    Triad C: 24 - 39 - 33
    24 + 15 = 39 
    39 - 6 = 33 
    So, Triad C follows the pattern.
    Triad D: 17 - 32 - 26
    17 + 15 = 32 
    32 - 6 = 26 
    So, Triad D follows the pattern as well.

    Option B, C and D follows the logic properly except option a.

    hence option a is odd one out.
