CMAT Number Series Questions

We need to identify the pattern in the series and check if there is any inconsistency.

From 888 to 454:

888 ÷ 2 = 444 (But the next number is 454)

So, we can guess that the next number is approximately halved but with a small increase.

454 = 444 + 10

From 454 to 237:

454 ÷ 2 = 227 (But the next number is 237)

Again, we see that the number is approximately halved with a small increase.

237 = 227 + 10

From 237 to 128.5:

237 ÷ 2 = 118.5 (But the next number is 128.5)

Here, we see a similar pattern where the number is halved with an addition.

128.5 = 118.5 + 10

From 128.5 to 76.25:

128.5 ÷ 2 = 64.25 (But the next number is 76.25)

This doesn't fit the pattern of halving with a small increase.

The correct number here should be 64.25, so 76.25 is the wrong number.

From 76.25 to 47.125:

76.25 ÷ 2 = 38.125 (But the next number is 47.125)

Again, this doesn't follow the halving pattern with an increase.
