Explanation
Solution:
The pattern is based on the relationship between the digits of each number. Specifically, the product of the first and last digits equals the middle two digits.
-
(a) 2384⟹2×4=08=38 (Does not follow)
-
(b) 3629⟹3×9=27=62 (Does not follow)
-
(c) 3756⟹3×6=18=75 (Does not follow)
Alternative Logic (Sum of Digits):
-
(a) 2+3+8+4=17
-
(b) 3+6+2+9=20
-
(c) 3+7+5+6=21
-
(d) 4+2+9+8=23
Correct Logic (Digit Addition/Relationship):
In many such competitive exams, the pattern for this specific set is:
Option (b) is the odd one because in all others, the sum of the digits is an odd number, whereas in (b), the sum is even (3+6+2+9=20).
