Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

1317

Solution :

The correct option is 1317.

To find the wrong number in the given series, let us analyze the differences between consecutive terms:

376-180=196

632-376=256

956-632=324

Notice that the differences obtained so far are squares of consecutive even numbers:

196=142

256=162

324=182

Following this pattern, the next difference should be 202=400.

Adding 400 to 956 gives:

956+400=1356

Checking the next term with 222=484:

1356+484=1840

This matches the final term of the series, which confirms that 1356 should replace 1317.

Therefore, 1317 is the wrong number in the given series.
