The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong number in the series: 8, 10, 20, 70, 320, 1570, 7830, we will analyze the pattern in the differences between consecutive terms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Series**: The given series is: \[ 8, 10, 20, 70, 320, 1570, 7830 \] 2. **Calculate the Differences**: - The difference between the first two terms: \(10 - 8 = 2\) - The difference between the second and third terms: \(20 - 10 = 10\) - The difference between the third and fourth terms: \(70 - 20 = 50\) - The difference between the fourth and fifth terms: \(320 - 70 = 250\) - The difference between the fifth and sixth terms: \(1570 - 320 = 1250\) - The difference between the sixth and seventh terms: \(7830 - 1570 = 6260\) So, the differences are: \[ 2, 10, 50, 250, 1250, 6260 \] 3. **Identify the Pattern in Differences**: - Notice that each difference seems to be multiplied by 5 to get the next difference: - \(2 \times 5 = 10\) - \(10 \times 5 = 50\) - \(50 \times 5 = 250\) - \(250 \times 5 = 1250\) - \(1250 \times 5 = 6250\) (but we have \(6260\) instead) 4. **Find the Incorrect Term**: - The last difference should have been \(6250\) instead of \(6260\). - If we subtract the correct difference from the last term: \[ 1570 + 6250 = 7820 \] - The series should have been: \[ 8, 10, 20, 70, 320, 1570, 7820 \] - Therefore, the incorrect term in the series is \(7830\). 5. **Conclusion**: - The wrong number in the series is **7830**. It should be **7820**.
