The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong term in the series 4, 5, 9, 29, 111, 556, 3335, we will analyze the pattern of the series step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the pattern Let's look at the differences between the terms and see if there is a consistent pattern. - From 4 to 5: \(5 = 4 + 1\) - From 5 to 9: \(9 = 5 + 4\) - From 9 to 29: \(29 = 9 + 20\) - From 29 to 111: \(111 = 29 + 82\) - From 111 to 556: \(556 = 111 + 445\) - From 556 to 3335: \(3335 = 556 + 2779\) ### Step 2: Analyze the differences Now, let's analyze the differences we calculated: - \(5 - 4 = 1\) - \(9 - 5 = 4\) - \(29 - 9 = 20\) - \(111 - 29 = 82\) - \(556 - 111 = 445\) - \(3335 - 556 = 2779\) ### Step 3: Look for a multiplication pattern Next, we will check if there is a multiplication pattern involved: 1. \(4 \times 1 + 1 = 5\) 2. \(5 \times 2 - 1 = 9\) 3. \(9 \times 3 + 2 = 29\) 4. \(29 \times 4 - 2 = 111\) 5. \(111 \times 5 + 5 = 556\) 6. \(556 \times 6 - 6 = 3335\) ### Step 4: Identify the wrong term Now, we can see that the pattern is alternating between adding and subtracting a number that is increasing. However, when we check the term \(29\): - According to the pattern, it should be \(9 \times 3 + 2 = 29\) (which is correct). - But for \(111\), it should be \(29 \times 4 - 2 = 114\) (not 111). Thus, the term \(111\) does not fit the pattern and is the wrong term. ### Conclusion The wrong term in the series is **111**. ---
