Find the odd one out:
- 27
- 64
- 125
- 216
Answer
Correct: Option D. 27, 64, 125 are perfect cubes of 3, 4, 5; 216 is 6³ but the series 3³,4³,5³ expects 6³ as next, yet 216 is not “odd” in value—however, only 64 is also a square (8²), hence 64 is the true odd one (question framed as per RRB pattern). (If 216 listed alone, 64 is odd.) -
