General Intelligence Number Series Number Series Question #6530 (CAT-I)

Identify the incorrect number in the sequence: 7, 28, 63, 124, 215, 342

A 28
B 63
C 124
D 342
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
The pattern follows n³ - 1 for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: 2³ - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 3³ - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26 (given as 28) 4³ - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63 5³ - 1 = 125 - 1 = 124 6³ - 1 = 216 - 1 = 215 7³ - 1 = 343 - 1 = 342 • Hence, the wrong number in the series is 28.
