1.
582, 605, 588, 611, 634, 617, 600
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms. So, 634 is wrong.

If we consider the series;
582+23=605 ----> 1st term
605-17=588 ----> 2nd term
588+23=611 ----> 3rd term
611-17=594 ----> (which is not 4th term) so instead of 634, it should be 594.
582+23=605 ----> 1st term
605-17=588 ----> 2nd term
588+23=611 ----> 3rd term
611-17=594 ----> (which is not 4th term) so instead of 634, it should be 594.

Seperates the patterns like this
582, 588, ?, 600.
605, 611, 617.
In each pattern add +6 and then;
588 + 6 = 594.
594 + 6 = 600.
582, 588, ?, 600.
605, 611, 617.
In each pattern add +6 and then;
588 + 6 = 594.
594 + 6 = 600.

I think 600 is the correct answer because 617+23 = 640 should come if they do it alternatively.

If we add 6 to every alternate number the alternate number comes same except 600.
Eg- 582 (1st number) +6 = 588 (3rd number).
605 (2nd number) +6=611 (4th number).
Eg- 582 (1st number) +6 = 588 (3rd number).
605 (2nd number) +6=611 (4th number).

@Shashank
I have one doubt.
588+6 = 594
594+ 6 = 600 then
600+ 6 = .....?
In your point of view, we have options is there..
1) 605
2) 634
Please clarify it clearly.

We can assume two sequence in the problem.
One starting from 582 and other starting with 605 and adding 6 to each term of the sequence.
582+6 = 588
588+6 = 594 instead of this there is 634
and again 594+6=600
Similarly,
605+6=611
611+6=617.

My answer is 617.
Because all number are composite number except 617 (which is prime number).

Alternatively 23 is added and 17 is subtracted from the terms
582+23=605
605-17=588
588+23=611
611-17=594......
634+23=617
617-17=600
In these series Actually the answer is 594 but instead of tat we have 634 so we can consider 634 as the wrong no.
582+23=605

582-605=23,
605-588=17
588-611=23
634-617=17
611-634=23
So balance 17 +17 =34
Add balance no is 600 +34 =634 ans.
605-588=17
588-611=23
634-617=17
611-634=23
So balance 17 +17 =34
Add balance no is 600 +34 =634 ans.

There is two series of alternate numbers, we can separate it like:
582, 605, 588, 611, 634, 617, 600
1). 582, 588, 634, 600
2). 605, 611, 617
In each number, we add 6 we get next number, ex- 582+6= 588, 588+6= 594, 594+6=600, So here in series it is given 634 instead of 594. So odd number is (634) answer.
582, 605, 588, 611, 634, 617, 600
1). 582, 588, 634, 600
2). 605, 611, 617
In each number, we add 6 we get next number, ex- 582+6= 588, 588+6= 594, 594+6=600, So here in series it is given 634 instead of 594. So odd number is (634) answer.
