Solution :
Given:
28, 33, 31, 36, 34, 29
Add 5 and subtract 3 alternatively from each number to get the next number of the series.
28 + 5 = 33; 33 – 2 = 31; 31 + 5 = 36; 36 – 2 = 34; 34 + 5 = 39
All the terms differ by 5 and 3 alternately, except for 29.
So, 29 is the wrong number in the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
