85 is also a probable answer to this question.

Because each of the given numbers in the series except 85 is divisible by 3.

All numbers/15 is an in integer excepr 85. So 85 must also be considered an answer.

105/15 = 7,

85/15 = 5.6,

60/15 = 4,

30/15 = 2,

0/15 = 0,

-45/15 = -3,

-90/16 = -9.

Find odd one out 105, 85, 60, 30, 0, -45, -90.

Complete the Series.

25, 146, 65, 114, 39, _, _, _, _, _, _, _?

The answer should be 85 I think because all others are multiples of 3.

According to me 0 is neither odd nor even so 0 is the answer.

According to the answer provided by Indiabix. If all are successive number then why minus sign is there before 45 and 90.

I think wrong question.

All other numbers are divisible by 5 except 0.

105-85 = 20.
85-60 = 25.
60-30 = 30.
30-0 = 30.
0-(-45 )= 45.
-45-(-90) = 45.

If we replace 0 by -5 we get sequence such as 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45.
