Question 17

The set of numbers below follows a particular pattern. Which of the numbers in the options does not follow the pattern?
Number set:
60, 120, 210, 336, 1716

Solution

The sum of digits in the numbers are multiples of 3

60 ; 6 + 0 = 6

120 ; 1 + 2 + 0 = 3

210 ; 2 + 1 + 0 = 3

336 ; 3 + 3 + 6 = 12

1716 ; 1 + 7 + 1 + 6 = 15

Similarly, sum of digits 720, 990 and 504 is also divisible by 3.

But 1310 ; 1 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 4 is not divisible by 3.

=> Ans - (D)
