  1. The wrong number of the sequence 4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 144 is
    1. 144
    2. 121
    3. 49
    4. 4
Correct Option: A

The pattern of the sequence is :
2² = 4
3² = 9
5² = 25
7² = 49
11² = 121
13² = 169 ≠ 144
From above it is clear that these numbers are squares of first 6 consecutive prime numbers. Hence, 144 should be replaced by 169.
The wrong number of the sequence is 144.
