    From given figure , it is clear that the increasing order of series given as -
    First term = 0
    Second term = First term + 5 = 5 ,
    Third term = Second term + 55 = 60
    Similarly , we can calculate all others terms also.


    Correct Option: B

    From given figure , it is clear that the increasing order of series given as -
    First term = 0
    Second term = First term + 5
    Second term = 0 + 5 = 5
    Third term = Second term + 55
    Third term = 5 + 55 = 60
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Fourth term = Third term + 555
    Fourth term = 60 + 555 = 615
    Fifth term = Fourth term + 5555
    Fifth term = 615 + 5555 = ?
    Fifth term ( ? ) = 6170



Direction: In each of these questions a number series is given. Only one number is wrong in each series. You have to find out the wrong number.

  1. 1 , 3 , 4 , 7 , 11 ,18 , 27 , 47

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    The sum of the first two nos. is the third no.
    First term + Second term = Third term
    Second term + Third term = Fourth term
    Similarly , we can calculate all others terms also.

    Correct Option: E

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    The sum of the first two nos. is the third no.
    First term + Second term = Third term
    ⇒ 1 + 3 = 4 ;
    Second term + Third term = Fourth term
    ⇒ 3 + 4 = 7 ;
    Third term + Fourth term = Fifth term
    ⇒ 4 + 7 = 11 ;
    Fourth term + Fifth term = Sixth term
    ⇒ 7 + 11 = 18 ;
    Fifth term + Sixth term = Seventh term
    ⇒ 11 + 18 = 27 is wrong. It should be 29.
    Sixth term + Seventh term = Eighth term
    ⇒ 18 + 29 = 47
    Hence, 27 is wrong. It should be 29.



Direction: In the following number series only one is wrong. Find out the wrong number.

  1. 18, 20, 23, 32, 48, 73, 109

    The series is 18 +12 = 19; 19 + 22 = 23; 23 + 32 = 32;
    32 + 42 = 48; 48 + 52 = 73 + 62 = 109

    Correct Option: A

    The series is 18 +12 = 19; 19 + 22 = 23; 23 + 32 = 32;
    32 + 42 = 48; 48 + 52 = 73 + 62 = 109


  1. 3, 7, 16, 35, 72, 153, 312

    The series is x 2 + 1, x 2 + 2, x 2 + 3, x 2 + 4, x 2 + 5

    Correct Option: D

    The series is x 2 + 1, x 2 + 2, x 2 + 3, x 2 + 4, x 2 + 5



  1. 2, 7, 30, 138, 524, 1557, 3102

    (2 - 1) x 7 = 7; (7 - 2) x 6 = 30; (30 - 3) x 5 = 135; (135 - 4) x 4 = 524;
    (524 - 5) x 3 = 1557; (1557 - 6) x 2 = 3102

    Correct Option: C

    (2 - 1) x 7 = 7; (7 - 2) x 6 = 30; (30 - 3) x 5 = 135; (135 - 4) x 4 = 524;
    (524 - 5) x 3 = 1557; (1557 - 6) x 2 = 3102
