Subtract second integer from first integer we get sum.

For ex:-
572 = 7-5 = 2;
462 = 6-4 = 2;
Like this.

Why not 671 as the other all is evens?

427 is not divided by 11. Other numbers are divided by 11.

Answer may also 396 because there is no number having 9 in the middle.

The sum of all the numbers is divisible by 2 except 427.

Answer is B. Because 396, 3+9+6=18 671, 6+7+1=14 427, 4+2+7=13 264, 2+6+4=12 the sum of numbers are even except 427 its sum is 13. Which is odd then answer is?

396 (9-3=6) the middle one minus first one we get the last one. The same procedure is done in all numbers but where as in 427 (2-4=-2) we get negative so the answer is 427.

396 = 3 + 9 + 6 = 18.
427 = 4 + 2 + 7 = 13.
671 = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14.
264 = 2 + 6 + 4 = 12.

In the above 4 options only 427 is odd number so 427 is correct.
