Question

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

5, 10, 30, 150, 950, 11550

1. 10
2. 30
3. 950
4. 11550
5. 5

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 950

Given:

5, 10, 30, 150, 950, 11550

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern,

5 × 2 = 10

10 × 3 = 30

30 × 5 = 150

150 × 7 = 1050 ≠ 950

1050 × 11 = 11550

Since 1050 will come in place of 950.

∴ The required wrong number will be 950.
