8 - 3 = 5
7 - 3 = 4
6 - 4 = 2
7 - 5 = 2 is wrong answer
8 - 5 = 3
9 - 8 = 1
5 - 3 = 2
So the wrong term is 751.
7 - 3 = 4
6 - 4 = 2
7 - 5 = 2 is wrong answer
8 - 5 = 3
9 - 8 = 1
5 - 3 = 2
So the wrong term is 751.

8 + 3 + 5 = 16,
7 + 3 + 4 = 14
6 + 4 + 2 = 12
7 + 5 + 1 = 13 (751 is the odd one in the series)
8 + 5 + 3 = 16
9 + 8 + 1 = 18
5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
Balance all numbers are even.
7 + 3 + 4 = 14

According to me, 532 is the answer because it is the only number divisible by 7 among all.

We can also do it like the addition of last 2 digits is equal to 1st digit. For eg.
835: 5+3 = 8.
734: 4+3 = 7.
835: 5+3 = 8.
734: 4+3 = 7.

Only 532 is divisible by 7.

I was thought the sum of last two digit number is equal to the first digit number.
All the following are satisfied the conditions except 751. So I was thought "751" is wrong.
Like:
8 = 5+3
7 = 4+3
9 = 8+1
Can we use this method. If anyone knows tell me.

8 - 5 = 3 835.
7 - 4 = 3 734.
6 - 2 = 4 642.
7 - 1 = 6 751.
8 - 3 = 5 853.
9 - 1 = 8 981.
5 - 2 = 3 532.
In this number series 751 is odd because in other numbers the 1st digit is find out by adding 2nd and 3rd digit simultaneously, but in 751 it is not happening.

How about 981 as the odd one out because it is the only number divisible by 9 others are not divisible?

Can we also do it like this? Addition of All the digits are even except 751?
