Question : Directions: In the given series one number is incorrect. Identify the INCORRECT number from among the options given. 3, 5, 7, 6, 10, 14, 12, 24, 28, 24, 40, 56
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 24
Option 3: 12
Option 4: 28
Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Given: 3, 5, 7, 6, 10, 14, 12, 24, 28, 24, 40, 56
Split the series into three parts. (I) 3, 6, 12, 24 (II) 5, 10, 24, 40 (III) 7, 14, 28, 56 In all the series above the following number is double of the preceding number. ⇒ 3 + 3 = 6; 6 + 6 = 12; 12 + 12 = 24 ⇒ 5 + 5 = 10; 10 + 10 = 20; 20 + 20 = 40 ⇒ 7 + 7 = 14; 14 + 14 = 28; 28 + 28 = 56 In series (II) it is written 24 instead of 20.
So, 24 in the second series is the wrong number. Hence, the second option is correct.
