I agree @Bhavana.

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

@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.

@D B Vekaria.

The wrong answer is 20.

3-1=2, 6-3=3, 1-61=5, 20-11=9, 9-20=11, 70-39=31.
2, 3, 5, 11, 31 are prime numbers except 9.
