Question
Which of the following is the odd one out?
2, 3, 5
11, 13, 17
4, 6, 8
7, 19, 23
- A. 2, 3, 5
- B. 11, 13, 17
- C. 4, 6, 8 (Correct answer)
- D. 7, 19, 23
Correct Answer
Option C — 4, 6, 8
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 4, 6, 8.
Key Points
- Groups A (2,3,5), B (11,13,17) and D (7,19,23) contain only prime numbers.
- Group C (4,6,8) is entirely even composites — not one is prime — so it is the odd group.
- For group-based odd-one-out, find the shared property across the majority (all-prime here) and pick the group that fails it.
