In the following number series only one number is wrong. Find the wrong number.
11 14 22 37 68 96 144
when we properly analyze the series 11 14 22 37 68 96 144 we realized that
14 -11 = 3 = $$(2)^2$$ - 1
22 - 14 = 8 = $$(3)^2$$ - 1
37 - 22 = 15 = $$(4)^2$$ - 1
68 - 37 = 31 , this is not equal to $$(5)^2$$ - 1
96 - 68 = 28 , this is not equal to $$(6)^2$$ - 1
144 - 96 = 48 = $$(7)^2$$ - 1
Hence the wrong number in series is 68 and correct answer is option B
