Wrong Number out Test 1
Find out the wrong number in the series:
19, 26, 33, 46, 59, 74, 91
Explanation: The series: 19, 26, 33, 46, 59, 74, 91
The pattern involves adding consecutive odd numbers:
• 19+7=26
• 26+9=35 (but we have 33, so this is the wrong number)
• 33+11=46
• 46+13=59
• 59+15=74
• 74+17=91
So, following the pattern, 33 should have been 35.
Answer: (B) 33
Find out the wrong number in the series:
6, 12, 48, 100, 384, 768, 3072
Explanation: The series: 6, 12, 48, 100, 384, 768, 3072
Checking the pattern:
• 6×2=12
• 12×4=48
• 48×2=96 (but we have 100 — this is the wrong number)
• 100×4=400 (but we have 384 — confirming that 100 is the wrong number)
• 384×2=768
• 768×4=3072
Identifying the wrong number:
The sequence follows an alternating pattern of multiplying by 2 and 4. The number 100 does not fit into this pattern correctly.
Find out the wrong number in the series:
2880, 480, 92, 24, 8, 4, 4
Explanation: The series: 2880, 480, 92, 24, 8, 4, 4
Checking the pattern:
• 2880÷6=480
• 480÷5=96 (but we have 92 — this is the wrong number)
• 92÷4=24
• 24÷3=8
• 8÷2=4
• 4÷1=4
Identifying the wrong number:
The sequence follows a division pattern where the divisor reduces by 1 in each step, but 92 does not fit the pattern. It should have been 96.
Find out the wrong number in the series:
4, 9, 16, 25, 32, 49
Explanation: The sequence is: 4, 9, 16, 25, 32, 49
Looking at the numbers:
• 4 is 2^2 (a perfect square).
• 9 is 3^2 (a perfect square).
• 16 is 4^2 (a perfect square).
• 25 is 5^2 (a perfect square).
• 32 is not a perfect square.
• 49 is 7^2 (a perfect square).
The pattern involves perfect squares of consecutive integers, and 32 doesn't fit this pattern.
Find out the wrong number in the series:
10, 25, 56, 70, 85, 95, 125
Explanation: All numbers in the sequence except 56 are multiples of 5:
• 10 = 5 × 2
• 25 = 5 × 5
• 70 = 5 × 14
• 85 = 5 × 17
• 95 = 5 × 19
• 125 = 5 × 25
However, 56 is not a multiple of 5, making it the incorrect number in the series.
Find out the wrong number in the series:
789, 645, 545, 481, 440, 429, 425
Explanation: Observation.
2nd term = 1st term - (12)^2 = 789 - 144 = 645
3rd term = 2nd term - (10)^2 = 645 - 100 = 545
4th term = 3rd term - (8)^2 = 545 - 64 = 481
5th term = 4th term - (6)^2 = 481 - 36 = 445
So, the 5th term should be 445, not 440.
Therefore, 440 is the wrong number in the series.
Find out the wrong number in the series:
64, 71, 80, 91, 104, 119, 135, 155
