Solution :
`.
Let's construct the output carefully:
The correct option is 595. To find the wrong number in the given series, let's analyze the difference between consecutive terms:
Now, let's calculate the second differences (the difference between consecutive first differences):
The second difference is constant and equal to 28. Following this pattern, the next differences should be: Next difference = Following difference = Applying these differences to find the correct terms in the series: 6th term should be: 7th term check: Hence, the number 595 given in the series is incorrect and should be replaced by 590.
