Given 56, 72, 90, 110, 132, 150.
7 * 8 = 56.
8 * 9 = 72.
9 * 10 = 90.
10 * 11 = 110.
11 * 12 = 132.
12 * 13 = 156.
From the above explanation, 150 is incorrect. So it is odd one.
7 * 8 = 56.
8 * 9 = 72.
9 * 10 = 90.
10 * 11 = 110.
11 * 12 = 132.
12 * 13 = 156.
From the above explanation, 150 is incorrect. So it is odd one.

60 - 4 = 56,
80 - 8 = 72,
100 - 10 = 90,
100 + 10 = 110,
120 + 12 = 132.
80 - 8 = 72,
100 - 10 = 90,
100 + 10 = 110,
120 + 12 = 132.

56 + 16 = 72
72 + 18 = 90
90 + 20 = 110
110 + 22 = 132
132 + 18 = 150
So, 150 is wrong.
72 + 18 = 90
90 + 20 = 110
110 + 22 = 132
132 + 18 = 150
So, 150 is wrong.

72 + 60 = 132
90 + 60 = 150
56 + 60 = 116
But given is 110, this is also a type of series and 110 is also an answer.
So it's a multiple type answer.
90 + 60 = 150
56 + 60 = 116
But given is 110, this is also a type of series and 110 is also an answer.
So it's a multiple type answer.

All the number except 110 are exactly divisible by 3 so 110 is also a correct answer.

If logic of numbers divisible by 3 is applied then 110 becomes odd.

110 can also be answer of this. As all numbers except 110 are divisible by 6. So it can be 110. Isn't it?

No, @Sushrita.
56 is also not divisible by 6.
56 is also not divisible by 6.

I have added 16 for the 1st two numbers, followed by 18 and so on.
For 132, we should add 24, and then the number should be 156. But the number mentioned was 150.
So 150 is an odd number.

According to the differences of the respective numbers next term should be 156.
But according to the given explanation the next term should be 172.
Really confusing.
