The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong number in the series `5, 7, 16, 57, 244, 1245, 7506`, we will analyze the pattern in the series step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the pattern We will look at how each number relates to the previous number. The hint from the video suggests that there is a multiplication and addition pattern involving squares. ### Step 2: Check the first number Starting with the first number: - The first number is **5**. - If we multiply **5** by **1** and add **1^2** (which is 1), we get: \[ 5 \times 1 + 1^2 = 5 + 1 = 6 \] This means the next number should be **6** instead of **7**. ### Step 3: Check the second number Now, let's check the second number: - If we take **6** (the corrected number) and multiply it by **2** and add **2^2** (which is 4): \[ 6 \times 2 + 2^2 = 12 + 4 = 16 \] This matches the third number, which is **16**. ### Step 4: Check the third number Next, we check the third number: - For **16**, multiply by **3** and add **3^2** (which is 9): \[ 16 \times 3 + 3^2 = 48 + 9 = 57 \] This matches the fourth number, which is **57**. ### Step 5: Check the fourth number Now, check the fourth number: - For **57**, multiply by **4** and add **4^2** (which is 16): \[ 57 \times 4 + 4^2 = 228 + 16 = 244 \] This matches the fifth number, which is **244**. ### Step 6: Check the fifth number Next, check the fifth number: - For **244**, multiply by **5** and add **5^2** (which is 25): \[ 244 \times 5 + 5^2 = 1220 + 25 = 1245 \] This matches the sixth number, which is **1245**. ### Step 7: Check the sixth number Finally, check the sixth number: - For **1245**, multiply by **6** and add **6^2** (which is 36): \[ 1245 \times 6 + 6^2 = 7470 + 36 = 7506 \] This matches the seventh number, which is **7506**. ### Conclusion After checking all the numbers, we find that the second number **7** is incorrect. It should be **6**. ### Final Answer The wrong number in the series is **7**, and it should be replaced with **6**. ---
