Correct Answer: 100

Solution:

All numbers except 100 are multiples of 3. 100 does not fit the pattern.

Find the odd one out in the series: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 100.

Find the odd one out in the series: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 100.

Step 1: Look at the series of numbers: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 100.
Step 2: Check if each number is a multiple of 3.
Step 3: 3 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 1 = 3).
Step 4: 6 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 2 = 6).
Step 5: 12 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 4 = 12).
Step 6: 24 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 8 = 24).
Step 7: 48 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 16 = 48).
Step 8: 100 is NOT a multiple of 3 (100 ÷ 3 = 33.33, which is not a whole number).
Step 9: Since all other numbers are multiples of 3 and 100 is not, 100 is the odd one out.
