Directions (61-65) : Find the wrong number in following number series.
17 , 22 , 32, 47 , 67, 93, 122
Correct Answer :
93
Solution :
The correct answer is 93 (Option 1).
To find the wrong number in the given number series, let us analyze the pattern of differences between consecutive terms:
17, 22, 32, 47, 67, 93, 122
Let us calculate the differences between consecutive terms step-by-step:
We can see that the sequence of differences increases by 5 at each step (+5, +10, +15, +20, ...).
Following this pattern, the next difference after 20 should be 25:
Therefore, the term following 67 should be 92 instead of 93.
Let us verify the final term with the next difference, which should be 30:
This matches the last number in the series. Thus, the wrong number in the given series is 93.
