The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the wrong number in the series `850, 843, 829, 808, 788, 745, 703`, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the differences between consecutive numbers in the series. - **Difference between 850 and 843**: \[ 850 - 843 = 7 \] - **Difference between 843 and 829**: \[ 843 - 829 = 14 \] - **Difference between 829 and 808**: \[ 829 - 808 = 21 \] - **Difference between 808 and 788**: \[ 808 - 788 = 20 \] - **Difference between 788 and 745**: \[ 788 - 745 = 43 \] - **Difference between 745 and 703**: \[ 745 - 703 = 42 \] ### Step 2: List the differences. The differences we calculated are: - 7 - 14 - 21 - 20 - 43 - 42 ### Step 3: Analyze the pattern in the differences. We notice that: - The first difference is 7. - The second difference is 14 (which is 7 + 7). - The third difference is 21 (which is 14 + 7). - The fourth difference is 20 (which breaks the pattern). - The fifth difference is 43 (which is not consistent with the previous differences). - The sixth difference is 42 (which is also inconsistent). ### Step 4: Identify the expected difference. From the pattern, it seems that the differences should increase by 7 each time: - 7, 14, 21, 28 (expected), ... ### Step 5: Find the wrong number. Since the fourth difference should be 28 instead of 20, we can find the correct number that should replace 808: - If we subtract 28 from 829, we get: \[ 829 - 28 = 801 \] Thus, the number 808 is incorrect and should be replaced with 801. ### Conclusion: The wrong number in the series is **808**. ---
