Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The series 2, 5, 10, 50, 500, 5000 follows a specific multiplication pattern where each term is the product of the two terms before it. Starting with 2 and 5: 2×5=10, 5×10=50, 10×50=500, and following the same rule, 50×500 should give 25,000 — not 5,000. Since 5,000 breaks this pattern, it is the odd one out and should be replaced by 25,000.
