8 + 3 + 5 = 16,
7 + 3 + 4 = 14
6 + 4 + 2 = 12
7 + 5 + 1 = 13 (751 is the odd one in the series)
8 + 5 + 3 = 16
9 + 8 + 1 = 18
5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
Balance all numbers are even.
7 + 3 + 4 = 14
6 + 4 + 2 = 12
7 + 5 + 1 = 13 (751 is the odd one in the series)
8 + 5 + 3 = 16
9 + 8 + 1 = 18
5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
Balance all numbers are even.

We can also do it like the addition of last 2 digits is equal to 1st digit. For eg.
835: 5+3 = 8.
734: 4+3 = 7.
835: 5+3 = 8.
734: 4+3 = 7.

According to me, 532 is the answer because it is the only number divisible by 7 among all.

8 - 3 = 5
7 - 3 = 4
6 - 4 = 2
7 - 5 = 2 is wrong answer
8 - 5 = 3
9 - 8 = 1
5 - 3 = 2
So the wrong term is 751.
7 - 3 = 4
6 - 4 = 2
7 - 5 = 2 is wrong answer
8 - 5 = 3
9 - 8 = 1
5 - 3 = 2
So the wrong term is 751.
