@B D Vekaria.

b) 50, 51, 47, 56, 42, 65, 29.

Answer is 42 because
+1, -4, +9, -16, +25, -36 ------> 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2, 6^2.
But we are getting 1, -4, +9, -14.

I agree @Bhavana.

We have to select the odd one out so yeah except 85 all others are divisible by 3 and 15.

85 is also a probable answer to this question.

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

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.
