Question

Find the wrong number in the given series. 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 12, 48, 24, 250 (a) 4 (b) 6 (c) 48 (d) 250

Answer 1

there is a pattern alternately 2×2=4
4×3=12
12×4=48
48×5=240not =250
wrong in these series=250ans.

Answer 2

Answer: The wrong term of the series is 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given series,

2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 12, 48, 24, 250.

By examining the series, we found that there are two sequence in the series,

One is, 3, 6, 12, 24, .....

In which, the next term is twice of its previous term,

And, second one is, 2, 4, 12, 48, 250,

First term = 2,

Second term = 4 =  2 × 2

Third term = 12 = 3 × 4

fourth term = 48 = 4 × 12

Hence, the fourth term must be 5 × 48 = 240

⇒ The wrong term in the sequence = 250
