Question

In the following number series, a wrong number is given. Find out the wrong number.

12, 6, 24, 3, 44, 1.5

1. 1.5
2. 44
3. 12
4. 6
5. 24

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 44

Given:

12, 6, 24, 3, 44, 1.5

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern,

12 ÷ 2 = 6

6 × 4 = 24

24 ÷ 8 = 3

3 × 16 = 48 ≠ 44

48 ÷ 32 = 1.5

Since 48 will come in place of 44

∴ The required wrong number will be 44.
