Hey people it should be 73 also..... because in each case 2 is getting added and in that case 73 doesn't fit!!

Ya dude you are right

41+2=43
43+4=47
47+6=53
53+8=61
61+10=71
71+12=83

So 81 doesn't fit in the series.

81 is right because no any number in the series divide by any number.
only 81 divide with 3,
27.

Hey how you express above formula in to the sum. tn=t (n-1) +2n.
For example =41 (1-1) +2*1=2.

@Saurabh.

A number that is divisible only by itself and 1, then we are called prime number.

43, 47, 53, 61, 71, 73 all are prime numbers but only 81 non-prime.

So the answer is 81.

TANMOY said:   9 years ago
BUT why not 73 because its also not fit in series with 81? both are not fit isn't it?

Neha Sultan said:   9 years ago
It's 81.

That's because NO OTHER NUMBER IS PERFECTLY DIVISIBLE BY 3, EXCEPT 81.
