Find the one which does not belong to that group ?

  • A.123
  • B.132
  • C.231
  • D.321

Answer: B

All four are made from the digits 1, 2 and 3, so look at the last digit.

\[ 123,\; 231,\; 321 \;\text{end in an odd digit and are therefore odd} \]

\[ 132 \;\text{ends in 2 and is even} \]

So 132 does not belong. All four share a digit sum of 6, so divisibility by 3 cannot separate them - parity can.
