(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g., 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)
    A 204 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 272 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 153 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 185 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is that three of the numbers are multiples of 17. 204 ÷ 17 = 12 272 ÷ 17 = 16 153 ÷ 17 = 9 185 ÷ 17 = 10.88 In all the options except '185', the numbers are perfectly divisible by 17. Therefore, '185' is different from the rest.
