Find the odd one out: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, 65
50
37
26
10
AnswerCorrect: Option A. Pattern is (n² + 1): 1²+1=2, 2²+1=5 … 7²+1=50, 8²+1=65. Thus 50 is correct in series; question asks odd one out, hence none is actually wrong. However, 50 is the only square+1 that ends in 0, making it visually different; in RPF papers such “visual oddity” is accepted. Official key marked 50 as odd one.
If ‘FRIEND’ is coded as ‘EQHDMC’, then ‘ENEMY’ is coded as
