Question

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

16, 8, 12, 30, 104, 472.5

1. 16
2. 8
3. 12
4. 30
5. 104

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 5 : 104

Given:

16, 8, 12, 30, 104, 472.5

Calculation:

The logic follows here is:

16 × 0.5 = 8

8 × 1.5 = 12

12 × 2.5 = 30

30 × 3.5 = 105 ≠ 104

105 × 4.5 = 472.5

There should be 105 instead of 104.

∴ 104 is the wrong term.
