In first number 331 : 3x1=3
In 2nd number 482 : 4x2=8
But in 383, 3x3 is 9 (expected is 8). So this is odd one out.

Here also first digit and last digits are the same numbers so answer is 383.

Hi. First 3*1=3 --> = 331.
Second 4*2=8 --> = 482.
Then not match it 3*3=9 -->
So not match ans is 383.
Second 4*2=8 --> = 482.
Then not match it 3*3=9 -->
So not match ans is 383.

Its easy guyz.
In 331 first and last digits are 3 and 1 right when we muliply them both we get 3 that is middle digit. Lets take another eg.
482 in that if we multiply 4 and 2 that are last and first digit we get 8 and that is middle one. And this condition is not satisfied by 383.

Very simple... you know 331... 3 and 1=3 there middle value..3(3)1
Next find same 482....4*2=8 middle 4(8)2
551 5*1=5 middle 5(5)1
263 2*3=6 """ 2(6)3
383 3*3=9 there middle value not same 3(9)3.
Next find same 482....4*2=8 middle 4(8)2
551 5*1=5 middle 5(5)1
263 2*3=6 """ 2(6)3
383 3*3=9 there middle value not same 3(9)3.

Another Option:
If we divide each number by 3 then we get remainder 2 except in 331. So option 'c' is also odd man out.
