    Hi aastha and all,

    I was also just wondering if it is better to post the answer.

    Just think in Roman numerals.. You will get it..

    Ohh...Thanks Sridevi for the hint..

    I got it..

    1 in Roman numeral is written as I
    and 4 in roman is written as IV
    so removing 1 from 4 we get V which is the roman of number 5...

    This was really interesting Sridevi..
    Hope you bring more for us...

    I think the answer is that in memtion 5 words you have given there is double words in each word like in first word one is two times,in 2nd word again one is two times,in 3rd word eight is two times.
    Hope i am right.

    I think the very simple similarity between these five words are:

    These all, is starting from which digit, is ending at the same digit..

    Like in 161 =, starting from 1 and ending at 1..

    1551=starting from 1 and ending at 1..

    8008= starting from 8 and ending at 8..

    222= starting from 2 and ending at 2..

    656= starting from 6 and ending at 6..

    Tell me Sridevi, if I am right...
