The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong term in the series 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 96, we can analyze the pattern of the series step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Pattern The series appears to be a geometric progression where each term is double the previous term. ### Step 2: Write Down the Terms Let's list the terms: - 1 (1 * 2^0) - 2 (1 * 2^1) - 4 (1 * 2^2) - 8 (1 * 2^3) - 16 (1 * 2^4) - 32 (1 * 2^5) - 64 (1 * 2^6) - 96 (1 * 2^7) ### Step 3: Calculate the Expected Next Term Following the pattern, the next term after 64 should be: - 64 * 2 = 128 ### Step 4: Compare with the Given Series In the series, instead of 128, we have 96 as the last term. ### Step 5: Identify the Wrong Term Since 96 does not fit the pattern of doubling the previous term (which should have been 128), we conclude that 96 is the wrong term in the series. ### Conclusion The wrong term in the series is **96**. ---
