2^3=8.
3^3=27.
4^3=64.
5^3=125.
6^3=216.
7^3=343.

But after 4^3 they gave 10^2=100 so that one is odd one.

2*2*2=8.

3*3*3=27.

4*4*4=64.

5*5*5=125.

6*6*6=216.

7*7*7=343.

But 100 is not a perfect cube.

1 3 6 11 20 39 70.

Diff-2 3 5 9 17 33.


=> Logic is x * 2-1 so 39 is wrong, replace with 37.

8,27,64,100,125,216,343.

2^3 3^3 4^3 5^3 6^3 7^3 .
100 = 10^2.

5, 6, 14, 40, 89, 170, 291 find odd one in the given series.

Logic : 2^3, 3^3, 4^3, 5^3, 6^3, 7^3.

So 100 is odd one.

343 is a prime number, why can't we consider that?
