The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong number in the series: 27, 34, 51, 75, 107, 147, 195, we will analyze the differences between consecutive numbers. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Series**: The given series is: 27, 34, 51, 75, 107, 147, 195. 2. **Calculate the Differences**: - Difference between 34 and 27: \( 34 - 27 = 7 \) - Difference between 51 and 34: \( 51 - 34 = 17 \) - Difference between 75 and 51: \( 75 - 51 = 24 \) - Difference between 107 and 75: \( 107 - 75 = 32 \) - Difference between 147 and 107: \( 147 - 107 = 40 \) - Difference between 195 and 147: \( 195 - 147 = 48 \) So, the differences are: 7, 17, 24, 32, 40, 48. 3. **Analyze the Differences**: Next, we look for a pattern in the differences: - The differences seem to be increasing but not consistently. Let's check the differences between the differences: - Difference between 17 and 7: \( 17 - 7 = 10 \) - Difference between 24 and 17: \( 24 - 17 = 7 \) - Difference between 32 and 24: \( 32 - 24 = 8 \) - Difference between 40 and 32: \( 40 - 32 = 8 \) - Difference between 48 and 40: \( 48 - 40 = 8 \) The second-level differences are: 10, 7, 8, 8, 8. 4. **Identify the Anomaly**: The first difference (7) and the second difference (17) show a significant jump. The expected pattern should be more consistent. 5. **Correct the Series**: If we assume the first difference should have been 8 instead of 7, then: - The first number should be \( 27 + 8 = 35 \) instead of 34. - Therefore, 34 is identified as the wrong number. 6. **Conclusion**: The wrong number in the series is **34**.
