      Question

      Find the  wrong term  in the following series:

      3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 125, 255
      A 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 255 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Check the pattern term by term: 3 → 7: 3×2 + 1 = 7 7 → 15: 7×2 + 1 = 15 15 → 31: 15×2 + 1 = 31 31 → 63: 31×2 + 1 = 63 63 → 127: 63×2 + 1 = 127 (this is what it should be) 127 → 255: 127×2 + 1 = 255 (fits the pattern if previous term is 127) So the correct series should be: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255 Given term 125 breaks the rule. Wrong term = 125.
