Choose the odd word/letters/number/number pair from the given alternatives.
- A6260
- B8411
- C9413
- D5612
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the relation between the digits of each 4-digit number. If we add the first three digits, we get the last digit or a component of it:
6260: Sum of first three digits =6+2+6=14
=0
8411: Sum of first three digits =8+4+1=13
=1
Let's look at another pattern: dividing the number into parts or summing the digits.
Sum of digits:
6+2+6+0=14
8+4+1+1=14
9+4+1+3=17
5+6+1+1=13
This does not yield a uniform rule for three options.
Let's observe the relationship between the first two digits and the last two digits:
6260: 62−60=2
8411: 84−11=73
Let's check another simple digital pattern: The sum of the first two digits equals the last two digits as a number, or sum of outer and inner digits.
Let's try: First two digits minus second two digits? No.
Let's check the sum of individual digits again:
6+2+6+0=14
8+4+1+1=14
9+4+1+3=17
5+6+1+2=14
Notice that for options A, B, and D, the sum of all digits is exactly 14:
6260: 6+2+6+0=14
8411: 8411→8+4+1+1=14
5612: 5+6+1+2=14
For option C:
9413: 9+4+1+3=17
=14
Hence, 9413 is the odd one out.
