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

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

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.
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.
