Instructions

Find out the wrong number in the given following sequence.

Question 68

3, 4, 13, 38, 87, 166, 289

Solution

The difference between consecutive numbers in the series are the squares of odd numbers.

For example, 4 - 3 = 1
13 - 4 = 9
38 - 13 = 25
87 - 38 = 49
168 - 87 = 81
289 - 168 = 121

Hence the number which is wrong in the series is 166 (it should be 168)
