Series and Odd Man out Practice Test 5

Concept:In a number series, find the pattern of differences and identify the number that breaks it.Explanation:The expected pattern is subtracting $5$, then $10$, then $15$, then $20$.Check the terms: $82 - 5 = 77$.Next: $77 - 10 = 67$.Next should be: $67 - 15 = 52$.But the given series has $62$ in this place.Then: $52 - 20 = 32$, which matches the last term.So $62$ is the wrong number and should be replaced by $52$.Answer:The odd number is $62$ (Option B).
