Wrong Number out Test 1
Find out the wrong number in the series: 19, 26, 33, 46, 59, 74, 91
  • 46
  • 59
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
  • 48
  • 100
  • 384
  • 768
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
  • 4
  • 8
  • 24
  • 92
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
  • 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
  • 10
  • 56
  • 85
  • 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
  • 429
  • 440
  • 481
  • 645
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
  • 71
  • 80
  • 104
  • Explanation: Go on adding 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 respectively to obtain the next number. So, 135 is wrong The series goes as: 64 + 7 = 71 71 + 9 = 80 80 + 11 = 91 91 + 13 = 104 104 + 15 = 119 119 + 17 = 136 (This should be the next number, but 135 is listed) 136 + 19 = 155 So, 135 is incorrect. It should be 136.
