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, 13, 65, 271, 817, 1639, 1645
    1. 13
    2. 65
    3. 271
    4. 817
    5. 1639
Correct Option: B

The given series is in the below pattern,
First term = 2
Second term = ( First term × 6 ) + 1 = 13
Third term = ( Second term × 5 ) + 2 = 65 , 67 should be sixth term because ( 13 × 5 ) + 2 = 67 .
So 65 is wrong. we get 67 as Third term.
Similarly we can find the all terms
Fourth term = ( Third term × 4 ) + 3 = 271
Fifth term = ( Fourth term × 3 ) + 2 = 817
Sixth term = 1639,
Seventh term = 1645.
