Directions (61-65) : Find the wrong number in following number series.
17 , 22 , 32, 47 , 67, 93, 122
Correct Answer :
93
Solution :
The correct option is 93.
Let us analyze the pattern of the given number series by examining the difference between consecutive terms:
Notice that the differences between consecutive terms form an arithmetic progression increasing by 5 each time: 5, 10, 15, 20, ...
Following this pattern, the next difference should be 25.
Adding 25 to 67 gives:
Let us check the subsequent term using the next difference, which should be 30:
This matches the last term in the series (122). Therefore, the number 93 is wrong and should be replaced by 92.
