Find the wrong term in the following number series questions.
132,156,182,210,235,272,306

Options

A. A)306
B. B)132
C. C)235
D. D)272

Answer

To find the wrong term in the series: 132, 156, 182, 210, 235, 272, 306, we can analyze the pattern followed by the terms.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Terms**: Write down the series clearly:
- 132, 156, 182, 210, 235, 272, 306

2. **Look for a Pattern**: We will check if there is a consistent pattern in the multiplication of consecutive integers:
- The first term is \( 132 \).
- The second term is \( 156 \).
- The third term is \( 182 \).
- The fourth term is \( 210 \).
- The fifth term is \( 235 \).
- The sixth term is \( 272 \).
- The seventh term is \( 306 \).

3. **Check Multiplication Patterns**:
- \( 132 = 11 \times 12 \)
- \( 156 = 12 \times 13 \)
- \( 182 = 13 \times 14 \)
- \( 210 = 14 \times 15 \)
- \( 235 \) does not fit this pattern, so we will check the next term.
- \( 272 = 16 \times 17 \) (which is incorrect as per our previous terms).
- \( 306 = 17 \times 18 \)

4. **Find the Correct Value**:
- Continuing the pattern, the fifth term should be \( 15 \times 16 = 240 \).
- Therefore, the fifth term \( 235 \) is incorrect.

5. **Conclusion**: The wrong term in the series is \( 235 \). The correct term should be \( 240 \).

### Final Answer:
The wrong term is **235**. The correct term should be **240**.
