Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

becoz first three numbers are increasing by 1 next three are increasing by 2,the next three are increasing 3 so it second three 26 must be present in the place of 25

Answer 2

Answer:

number 25 is wrong term in the series.

Step-by-step explanation:

if we divide the following series into 3 parts,

12,13,14......first part

24,25,28....second part

36,39,42.....third part

we observe that first part defined by consecutive numbers with a difference of 1

in the second part, we observe consecutive numbers with a difference of 2, but after 24 ,it should be 26.

so the number 25 is wrong term in the series.

in the third part,we observe that consecutive numbers with the difference of 3.

Hence, the number 25 is wrong term in the series.
