Question

    Find the wrong number in the given number series.

     44, 57, 81, 119, 170, 234, 311.

    A 234 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 119 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 170 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, 44 + 13 = 57 57 + 24 = 81 (first increment +13) 81 + 37 = 118 (second increment +13) 118 + 50 = 168 (followed by +13) 168 + 63 = 231 (followed by +13) 231 + 76 = 307 (followed by +13) This corrected increment sequence yields a new series: 44, 57, 81, 118, 168, 231, 307 Looking back at our original series: 44, 57, 81, 119, 170, 234, 311 Therefore, the wrong number in the series is 119.
