To find :

Identify the wrong number in the series

Solution :

1134 is the wrong number in the given series.

Let's find out how?

=> 1200 - 6 = 1194 (2x3 =6)

=> 1194 - 12 = 1182 (3x4=12)

=> 1182 - 20 = 1162 (4x5=20)

=> 1162 - 30 = 1132 (5x6=30)

=> 1132 - 42 = 1090 (6x7=42)

=> 1090 - 56 = 1034 (7x8=56)

So, there should be 1132 instead of 1134. Hence, the odd one is 1134
