      Question

      In the following number series, a wrong number is

      given: 2, 6, 16, 38, 84, 168, 368, 750 The wrong number is:
      A 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 168 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The pattern in the given number series follows a specific multiplication and addition rule. Let's break it down: 1. (2 Γ— 2) + 2 = 6 2. (2 Γ— 6) + 4 = 16 3. (2 Γ— 16) + 6 = 38 4. (2 Γ— 38) + 8 = 84 5. (2 Γ— 84) + 10 = 178 (This is where the pattern breaks) 6. (2 Γ— 178) + 12 = 368 7. (2 Γ— 368) + 14 = 750 According to the pattern, the number 168 should be replaced with 178. Hence, the wrong number in the series is 168.
