-
- 15
- 20
- 29
- 40
- 15
Correct Option: A
On the basis of following pattern in given series , we get
First term = 5
Second term = First term + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
Third term = Second term + 5 = 8 + 5 = 15 , In which 13 will be correct term while 15 is incorrect term .
Fourth term = Third term + 7 = 13 + 7 = 20
Fifth term = Fourth term + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29
Sixth term = Fifth term + 11 = 29 + 11 = 40
Incorrect no. = 15
