In the following series, how many such odd numbers are there which are divisible by or , then followed by odd numbers, and then also followed by even numbers?
- AZero
- BOne
- CTwo
- DThree
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
We need to look for a triplet pattern:
Let's check the odd numbers divisible by or :
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (odd). Does not match (Odd-Odd-Odd).
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (even). Pattern: . Valid (1)
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (even). Pattern: . Valid (2)
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
Hence, there are exactly two such numbers ( and ).
Let's check the odd numbers divisible by or :
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (odd). Does not match (Odd-Odd-Odd).
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (even). Pattern: . Valid (1)
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (odd), which is followed by (even). Pattern: . Valid (2)
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
* **: Followed by (even). Invalid.
Hence, there are exactly two such numbers ( and ).
