Answer :
To solve this problem, we need to identify which number in the sequence does not belong based on a certain pattern. Let's take a closer look at the numbers:
6, 9, 12
152, 4, 8, 1612
24, 36, 4810, 13, 16, 19
A common method for spotting the odd one out is to check if the numbers in each group follow a certain pattern or rule.
Let's evaluate the groups:
- Group 1: The numbers 6, 9, and 12 are all multiples of 3.
- Group 2: This group looks odd because it contains a very large number (152) which seems out of place when compared to smaller numbers like 4, 8, and 1612, which aren't immediately following a simple arithmetic pattern.
- Group 3: In this group, 24, 36, 48 are multiples of 12, while 10, 13, 16, and 19 do not follow this pattern because they are not multiples of each other.
From these observations, the odd one out is likely in the second group. Number 152 stands out because the nearby numbers (4, 8, 1612) are smaller, and 152 does not follow a simple arithmetic sequence or multiplication pattern based on the other numbers in the group.
Therefore, the odd one out is 152.
