Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to analyze the given series of numbers: 110, 120, 125, 135, 140, 150, 155. Our tasks include identifying the pattern in the series and determining which number does not fit this pattern.

2. Relevant Concepts

  • Examine the differences between consecutive numbers.
  • Identify consistent increments or patterns that indicate a sequence.

3. Analysis and Detail

  • Calculate the differences between consecutive numbers:

    • 120110=10120 - 110 = 10
    • 125120=5125 - 120 = 5
    • 135125=10135 - 125 = 10
    • 140135=5140 - 135 = 5
    • 150140=10150 - 140 = 10
    • 155150=5155 - 150 = 5
  • We observe a repeating pattern in increments:

    • The differences alternate between 1010 and 55.

4. Verify and Summarize

Given the pattern of differences, the correct continuation after 155155 would be 165165 (adding 1010), followed by another number that would then add 55 (which doesn't immediately appear). All numbers, except 125125, conform to alternating increments consistently.

Final Answer

The odd number in the series is 125. The next number in the pattern should be 165, following the established differences of 1010 and 55.
