Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In this classification question, each number follows a digit-sum rule: the sum of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th digits (counting from the left) must equal the 2nd digit. The number that breaks this rule is the odd one out.
5720 -> digits are 5, 7, 2, 0. Sum of the first, third, and fourth digits: 5 + 2 + 0 = 7, which equals the second digit (7) -- the pattern holds.
6710 -> digits are 6, 7, 1, 0. Sum: 6 + 1 + 0 = 7, which equals the second digit (7) -- the pattern holds.
2640 -> digits are 2, 6, 4, 0. Sum: 2 + 4 + 0 = 6, which equals the second digit (6) -- the pattern holds.
4270 -> digits are 4, 2, 7, 0. Sum: 4 + 7 + 0 = 11, which does NOT equal the second digit (2) -- the pattern breaks.
Rechecking, the pattern holds consistently for the other three numbers (5720, 6710, 2640), while 4270's sum (11) does not match its second digit (2) -- confirming 4270 is the number that breaks the pattern.
Therefore, 4270 does not follow the pattern, making it the odd number out.
