Direction: In each of these questions a number series is given. Only one number is wrong in each series. You have to find out the wrong number.

1, 2, 4.5, 11, 30, 92.5, 329
-
- 92.5
- 4.5
- 11
- 2
- 30
Correct Option: A
As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
First term = 1
Second term = ( First term × Variable ) + Variable = 2
Third term = ( Second term × Previous Variable + 0.5 ) + Previous Variable + 0.5 = 4.5
Similarly we can find the all others terms
Second term = ( 1 × 1 ) + 1 = 2
Third term = ( 2 × 1.5 ) + 1.5 = 4.5
Fourth term = ( 4.5 × 2 ) + 2 = 11
Fifth term = (11 × 2.5 ) + 2.5 = 30
Sixth term = ( 30 × 3 ) + 3 = 92.5 , 93 should be sixth term because ( 30 × 3 ) + 3 = 93
So 92.5 is wrong. we get 93 as 6th term.
Seventh term = ( 93 × 3.5 ) + 3.5 = 325.5 + 3.5 = 329.
