Question
Find the wrong number in the given number series.
3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 50, 63Solution
ATQ,
Differences:
8 - 3 = 5 = 2² + 1
15 - 8 = 7 = 3² - 2
24 - 15 = 9 = 3²
35 - 24 = 11 = 3² + 2
50 - 35 = 15 ← Breaks the pattern
Correct should be:
35 + 13 = 48
48 + 15 = 63
So 50 is wrong, correct number is 48
