General Intelligence Number Series Number Series Question #6523 (CAT-I)

Find the wrong number in the sequence: 102, 101, 98, 93, 86, 74, 66, 53

A 101
B 93
C 74
D 66
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option C
• The pattern involves subtracting consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. 102 - 1 = 101 101 - 3 = 98 98 - 5 = 93 93 - 7 = 86 86 - 9 = 77 77 - 11 = 66 66 - 13 = 53 • Hence, the number 74 is incorrect and must be replaced by 77.
