One term in the number series is wrong. Find the wrong term: 325, 259, 202, 160, 127, 105, 94.
A94
B127
C202 ✓ Correct
D259
Correct answer: (C) 202 — The wrong term is 202, so that is the answer.
Explanation
The wrong term is 202, so that is the answer.
The differences between terms should decrease by 11 each time.
From 325 the differences are 66, then 55, then 44, then 33, then 22, then 11.
So after 259 the term should be 259 minus 55, which is 204.
But the series has 202 instead of 204.
So 202 is the wrong term.
