Directions (11-15): In each of the following questions a number series is given which has only one wrong number. You have to find out the wrong number.

Q11. 7.5 47.5 87.5 157.5 247.5 357.5 487.5

357.5

87.5

157.5

7.5

47.5

Solution:

The given number series is based pattern +30,+50,+70,+90,+110,+130
Clearly, 47.5 is the wrong number. It should be replaced by 37.5.

Q12. 13 16 21 27 39 52 69

Solution:

The given number series is based on the following pattern:
13 + 3 = 16
16 + 5 = 21
21 + 7 = 28 ≠ 27
28 + 11 = 39
39 + 13 = 52
52 + 17 = 69
Clearly, 27 is the wrong number. It should be replaced by 28.

Q13. 1500 1581 1664 1749 1833 1925 2016

1581

1664

1833

1925

1749

Solution:

The given number series is based on the following pattern:
1500 + 81 = 1581
1581 + 83 = 1664
1664 + 85 = 1749
1749 + 87 = 1836 ≠ 1833
1836 + 89 = 1925
1925 + 91 = 2016
Clearly, 1833 is the wrong number. It should be replaced by 1836.

Q14. 36 54 18 27 9 18.5 4.5

4.5

18.5

Solution:

Pattern of series is–
36 × 1.5 = 54
54 ÷ 3 = 18
18 × 1.5 = 27
27 ÷ 3 = 9
9 × 1.5 = 13.5 ≠ 18.5
13.5 ÷ 3 = 4.5

Q15. 1 8 27 64 124 216 343

124

216

Solution:

Pattern of series is
1³, 2³, 3³, 4³, [5³ = 125 ≠ 124], 216, 343
