The correct Answer is:
To determine the wrong term in the series 4, 6, 12, 30, 75, 315, 1260, we can analyze the pattern of the series step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the series The given series is: 4, 6, 12, 30, 75, 315, 1260 ### Step 2: Look for a pattern We will check how each term relates to the previous one. - From 4 to 6: \[ 6 = 4 \times 1.5 \] - From 6 to 12: \[ 12 = 6 \times 2 \] - From 12 to 30: \[ 30 = 12 \times 2.5 \] - From 30 to 75: \[ 75 = 30 \times 2.5 \] - From 75 to 315: \[ 315 = 75 \times 4.2 \] - From 315 to 1260: \[ 1260 = 315 \times 4 \] ### Step 3: Check the multiplication factors Now we can summarize the multiplication factors: - \(1.5\) from \(4\) to \(6\) - \(2\) from \(6\) to \(12\) - \(2.5\) from \(12\) to \(30\) - \(2.5\) from \(30\) to \(75\) - \(4.2\) from \(75\) to \(315\) - \(4\) from \(315\) to \(1260\) ### Step 4: Identify the inconsistency The pattern suggests that after \(30\), the next term should be obtained by multiplying \(30\) by \(3\) (not \(2.5\)), which gives: \[ 30 \times 3 = 90 \] However, the term given is \(75\), which does not fit the pattern. ### Conclusion Thus, the wrong term in the series is \(75\). The correct term should have been \(90\). ### Final Answer The wrong term in the series is **75**. ---
