Question

find the wrong number in the following number series 22.22,23.22,22.47,22.92,22.72
​

Answer 1

22.92 is the odd number in the given series.

Given data:

22.22,23.22,22.47,22.92,22.72​

To find:

Odd one out!

Explanation:

The absolute difference of two successive numbers should keep on decreasing by 0.25.

22.22 - 23.22 = -1.0        ⇒ absolute(-1.0) = 1.0

23.22 - 22.47 = 0.75       ⇒ absolute(0.75) = 0.75

22.47 - 22.92 = -0.45     [Case failed! The number should be 22.97]

22.92 - 22.72 = 0.20     [Case failed! The number should be 22.97]

Had it been 22.97 in place of 22.92, the absolute differences would have been,

22.47 - 22.97 = -0.50     ⇒ absolute(-0.50) = 0.50

22.97 - 22.72 = 0.25      ⇒ absolute(0.25) = 0.25

So, 22.92 is the wrong number in the given series.
