Subtract second integer from first integer we get sum.
For ex:-
572 = 7-5 = 2;
462 = 6-4 = 2;

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.
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.
