The set of numbers below follows a particular pattern. Which of the numbers in the options does not follow the pattern?
60, 120, 210, 336, 1716

Options

A. (a) 720
B. (b) 990
C. (c) 504
D. (d) 1310

Answer

D

Explanation

`60 implies 1 + 2 + 0 = 3`
`120 implies 1 + 2 + 0 = 3`
`210 implies 2 + 1 + 0 = 3`
`336 implies 3 + 3 + 6 = 12`
`17 16 implies 1 + 7 + 1 + 6 = 15`
`720 implies 7 + 2 + 0 = 9`
`990 implies 9 + 9 + 0 = 18`
`504 implies 5 + 0 + 4 = 9`
But, `1310 implies 1 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 5`
Except 1310 in all other numbers the sum of digits is multiple of 3.
Therefore the number 1310 does not fit into the pattern.
