If a number is odd, its last digit is odd. @shirleyx

Answer 2

All other numbers are even. One is odd.

Answer 3

Oh wait

Answer 4

there are two odd numbers

Answer 5

Exactly :/

Answer 6

I only see one...?

Answer 7

2731 and 6793

Answer 8

yea, didn't see those top numbers, hmmm...I'd pick the only answer that is odd for the multiple choice so E

Answer 9

not 'odd' as in 1 3 5 7 9 but 'odd' as in different from the rest, there should be some pattern to distinguish the 6 numbers from the odd one out/different, but i can't find the pattern!

Answer 10

can any of you help me? @mrvontar @ParthKohli

Answer 11

Hmm, I have no idea, sorry.

Answer 12

how did u start ths qn?

Answer 13

It's the same question as the one we did?

Answer 14

nooo.......jus a min

Answer 15

see.....the numbers 2748 and 2731 are not in options

Answer 16

nd the diff is 17....which is prime so....no number divides them both xcept 1

Answer 17

i think the answer is 2748

for all the other terms, the sum of the front 2 integers is greater than the sum of the 2 integers behind,
for example, 5974
sum of front 2 is 14, sum of the other 2 integers is 11
like wise,
1826 -- 9 8
4672 -- 10 9
7984 -- 16 12
6793 -- 15 12
2731 -- 9 4
2748 -- 9 12
The only exception to this rule is the number 2748, making it the odd one among the numbers.
