View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

362

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Check all options:

Option (1) : 224 → 152 – 1 = 225 – 1 = 224

Option (2) : 362 → 192 + 1 = 361 + 1 = 362

Option (3) : 168 → 132 – 1 = 169 – 1 = 168

Option (4) : 288 → 172 – 1 = 289 – 1 = 288

Therefore, '362' is odd.

Hence, "Option (2)" is the correct answer.
